Melanie Jane Wilde was born July 15, 1950, to the loving parents, CORDULA & EDWIN WILDE of Wall. The Wildes are a prominent farming family whose farming heritage stems from the German land movement of the 1840s. The Wildes came to Texas from northwest Germany in 1845. They had hopes of settling in the Castro Colony in West Central Texas. They first settled in Quihi, Texas, and later migrated to Freslberg. From there, the family found a base from which it grew and prospered with the family members then branching out into Wall and its surrounding German communities.
Melanies childhood involved activities at home with her mother on Sunday afternoon. She worked on the farm with her three brothers. She was active in many organizations in high school and in the St. Ambrose
Catholic Church. After high school graduation in 1968, she attended Angelo State University and graduated in 1972. She received many academic honors and participated in many organizations on campus.
Upon graduation, Melanie began her teaching career at Santa Rita and Sacred Heart Cathedral School with kindergarten students. During her career, she was the director at the Angelo State University kindergarten program, taught at Glenmore and Crockett Elementary and
was presently the librarian at Crockett Elementary. She always found time to assist and support her familys business of M.L. Leddy Boot Company and Rusty Franklin Boot Company, at the same time operating her farms and keeping them productive.
Melanie married RUSTY FRANKLIN on July 28, 1973, in Wall. Together Rusty and Melanie proudly and lovingly raised three children, Jed, Casey and Betsy. Melanies finest moments were spent being a loving daughter, sister, wife and above all a wonderful mother. Her love for her church and family was evident in her daily life. She derived pleasure from attending all the athletic, musical, club and academic
activities of her children.
San Angelo benefited from Melanies involvement in many community and civic organizations including PTA, Stock Show and Rodeo Association, Junior League, many activities of Holy Angels Catholic Church and numerous others. Her warm, loving, compassionate spirit touched all who knew and loved her. Her short time on earth touched the lives of so many children.

Franklin, all of San Angelo; her parents, Edwin and Cordula Strube Wilde; and three brothers, John Wilde, Donald Wilde and Dale Wilde, all of Wall.
