Robert B. Frost

Robert B. Frost, 80, of Bella Vista passed away July 18 at Highlands Health and Rehab. He was born February 9, 1945 in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania to Leo Anthony Frost (born Leo Anthony Mrozowski) and Dorothy Matukaitis Frost.

Robert graduated from Palatine Highschool in Palatine, IL and attended Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State University) on a full ride track scholarship, running primarily in the 400m and cross-country races. He had the opportunity to run in many different places across the United States and in other countries. After graduating Robert worked for a short time as a teacher before going into the motor coach industry. Robert lived in Northwest Arkansas for several years, but moved around quite a bit previously due to his long-time career as a purchaser in the motor coach industry where he worked for companies such as Greyhound, MCI, Trailways, and Prevost, where he retired after spending the last ten years of his 41-year career in the field. This job took him to many places including New York City, Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas, and Chicago.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers: Richard Frost and Robert’s twin brother, Ron Frost; and one sister, Marlene Frost.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Mary Lou (Anderson) Frost of Bella Vista; three sons: Michael Frost of Bella Vista, Matthew Frost (Amy) of California, and Tim Frost (Jill) of Texas; one brother, Leonard Frost (Kathy) of Arizona; sister-in-law, twin brother Ron’s wife, Linda Frost of Texas; three nephews: Scott, Ryan, and Brian; three nieces: Cheryl, Heather, and Theresa; and one grandson, Hudson Morgan Frost.

The family will have a private memorial at a later date.
