Mrs. Frank (1847-1913) was a philanthropist and a force in the Jewish life of her time. There's a good summary of her interesting life in the American Jewish Historical Quarterly, Volume 22. 1914 pp.213-218:

[She]early became imbued with a strong religious feeling which strengthened with the years and she learned too to look upon the poor the unhappy and the restricted with a sympathy that was perhaps her most striking characteristic.
