Frank Roncali, Jr. was born Tuesday, November 22, 1918 in Bolivar County and passed away Sunday, March 20, 2016 in Newton County at the age of 97. Having been a resident of the Newton area since 1958, and a retired security guard at La-Z-Boy South, he was of the Pentecostal faith. He was a member of the Gospel Lighthouse at Newton, enjoying the fellowship of believers there and worshipping His Lord. He was a simple man with a strong work ethic and will be remembered for his love of family, and country music: his all-time favorite artist was Jean Shepherd.

He was preceded in death by his first wife: Lillie Roncali and three sons: Charles Roncali, Lewis Roncali, and Johnny Wayne Roncali. His parents and all of his siblings precede him in death.
Survivors include his wife of almost 16 years: Mary Roncali; three sons: Frankie (Sara) Roncali, James (Sherry) Roncali, and Robert (Nancy) Roncali; one daughter-in-law: Dorothy Roncali, all of Newton; twelve grandchildren and a host of great grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; four step children: Betty Jo Bradham and Iona Geraldine Wilson, both of Greeneville; Billy Edward Homan of Morrero, LA; and Eugne Homan of Charlotte, N.C.; one half-sister: Angelina King of Tupelo; and one half-brother: Denon Woods of Shaw.
Pallbearers will be Carlos Roncali, Anthony Roncali, Dakota Roncali, Robert Roncali, Robby Roncali, and James Beavers.
