Mrs. Grace Peacock Franklin, born January 12, 1922 in River Falls, AL, is resting in Heaven with her Lord and Savior. She quietly left this world on July 3, 2016 at the amazing age of 94.
A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, her family was her life. She rejoiced in watching her five great grandsons grow up.
A true Southern lady, raised in the depression and tempered by the war years, she survived the death of her two sons, Donald Wayne Franklin at birth and James Curtis Franklin, Jr. at age 7 and the death of her husband, WWII veteran, James Curtis Franklin.
She is also predeceased by two sisters, Frances Peacock Lorton (Ralph) and Ann Peacock Curtis.
She is survived by her daughter, Sue Franklin Taylor, son-in-law Ward Stafford Taylor, granddaughter Heather Taylor Kirby, grandson-in-law David Bruce Kirby, grandson Lance Ward Taylor and his fiancée Monica Garrick, five great grandsons, Colin Taylor, Cooper Taylor, Mason Taylor, James Kirby and Andrew Kirby, brother-in-law Benny King(Mary), nieces and nephews Diane Cassady Hardcastle (Glen), Tommy Cassady (Dawn), Johnny Cassady (Susan) and Brenda Cassady (Dan) McFall, Mike Lorton, Pam Curtis Nelson (Jim), Hank Curtis, and Carol Lorton Ewing (George).
Grace was gentle, kind and full of grace, living her life with dignity. She was hard-working and generous, always ready to give much more than she received.
She loved to cook for her family and a seat at her table was always filled with delicious food and her staples of sweet tea and buttermilk cornbread.
Her life and faith were a true testament to her family and those who knew her. She was very much a fine Christian lady her whole life. We know that she is now united with her husband and sons and those who preceded her in this life. What a glorious reunion it must be! The dignity with which she walked through this life has been restored in the arms of Jesus.
Graveside services will be held Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 3 PM at Andalusia Memorial Cemetery with Rev Jimmy Aaron and Rev Edward Britton officiating.
Pallbearers will be Campbell Kyle, Earl Johnson, Dan McMullen, Tommy Cassady, Johnny Cassady and Troy Cassady.
Foreman Funeral home is in charge of arrangements.
