Francis T. Cole

Francis T. Cole, 68, of Pitcairn, PA, passed away on March 20, 2026. Born April 12, 1957, Francis was a lifelong member of the Pitcairn community and a proud lifetime member of the Pitcairn Fire Department.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Helen E. Cole; his mother, Shirley J. Cole; and his father, Donald E. Cole Sr.

He is survived by his children, Jeremy Cole and Caitlyn Cole; his cherished granddaughter, Elizabeth; his siblings, Debbie Border, Donald Cole Jr., James Cole, and Dale Cole; along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Francis loved the outdoors and the simple things in life. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and bowling, and could often be found riding his motorcycle or spending time with friends and family—where he was happiest.
