She was one of the original members of Middlebrook Pike Baptist Church and later joined Park West Baptist Church. She lived a life of hard work, simple needs, and never asked for anything for herself. She was devoted to her family and was always grateful to God her children were all saved and in church. Mother's wishes were not to receive flowers or friends. She will be laid to rest in a private burial service at Edge Wood Cemetery with her children and a prayer. Weaver Funeral Home is proud to serve the Franklin family.
