Greetings CactusJackSlade:
I located the name of a Carmel, IN, symphony donor named Dorothy
Frantz at http://www.carmelsymphony.org/ - her name appears in the
list.
I then located a "Niles Don and Dorothy Frantz, Buchanan" on a
thank-you list. They donated to Head Fine Arts in Mishawaka, IN, -
see http://www.headfinearts.org/donors.html
Being that both organizations support fine arts, I looked on a map of
Indiana for Mishawaka and Buchanan to see if they were nearby each
other. It turns out that the Buchanan nearby Mishawaka is in
Michigan. Mishawaka is in the South Bend, IN - very near the Michigan
border.

Yahoo Map Buchanan, MI
http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&addr=&city=Buchanan&state=MI&csz=Buchanan,+MI&slt=41.827358&sln=-86.360970&zip=&country=us&BFKey=&BFCat=&BFClient=&cs=7&name=&desc=&poititle=&poi=&uz=49107&ds=n&mag=7&newmag=5
I then searched "Don Frantz Buchanan MI" (search without quotes) and
found a Don Frantz referenced in a play at the Buchanan, MI, Tin Box
Theater as "Patient #2". The bio of Don Frantz reads "No stranger to
area community theater-goers, Don has performed in various productions
at Beckwith Theatre, Tin Shop, Barnswallow, SMC, and Battell Center.
Don last appeared at Tin Shop in 1999 as Uncle Ned in Orphan's
Revenge."
Because of the donation mentioned above, it seems this Don Frantz is
an avid actor, at least part-time. Another clue for fine arts
support. Perhaps a man whose wife painted?
I also found a reference to "Frantz Accounting, South Bend" so I
searched that business. I found only a Frantz Accounting and Tax
Service in Niles, MI. I searched Yahoo for a map of there and - bingo
- Niles is very near Buchanan.

If indeed, all the references to the above Don and Dorothy Frantz are
related, it is possible that Mr. Frantz has passed away (his name not
on the Carmel Symphony list) and now his wife, the Dorothy Frantz you
may seek, lives further south in Carmel near Indianapolis.

It may be that Buchanan, MI, is the place to focus your search or
around Carmel, IN, where the Frantz name also occurs - it may be that
Dorothy is living with a son or daughter in Carmel. There may be
relatives in both areas that could answer your question. I hope this
information will assist you and I wish I could have provided you a
definitive answer.
