Amelia Frank

Personal life Frank was born in 1906 in Marion, Ohio, to Anna and Louis Frank, a Lithuanian Frank fell ill from an unknown cause only a few weeks after the wedding. Wigner stated it was heart disease, though other sources, including her death certificate, state it was cancer. After several months in a hospital, she returned to her parents' house in Michigan, where she died in August 1937.

Legacy During the 20th century, Frank was primarily remembered for her relationship with Wigner, especially her premature death, which was a primary cause for his move from Wisconsin–Madison to Princeton. In the 21st century, articles in The Conversation and Journal of Alloys and Compounds have discussed more of her own contributions to crystal field theory and described her as "under-recognised" and an "unsung heroine."
