memorial service celebrating the life of Norma Snow Franklin, age 81, of Newark, will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 16, at The Newark Chapel of Henderson-Van Atta-Stickle Funeral & Cremation Service with Rev. Kim Trimboli officiating.
Norma passed away on September 9, 2015 at her home. She was born November 21, 1933 in Cayce, Kentucky in Fulton County, to the late John Vernon and Hazel King Snow.
In 1940 the Snow family relocated to Van Dyke (now Warren), Michigan where Norma graduated as salutatorian from Lincoln High School. After marrying Daniel T. Franklin in 1954, they lived in the Detroit area; Libertyville, Illinois; Livingston, New Jersey; and moved to Newark, Ohio in 1969 with their three children. Norma graduated with honors from Ohio Dominican College and retired in 1995 from Denison University as the manager of personnel services. She was a member of Second Presbyterian Church since 1969 and served in various roles, including elder.
She was an avid bridge player and golfer and possessed a wry sense of humor and a steel-trap memory. Her independent and inquisitive spirit took her on world travels solo and with friends, and she explored college courses at Denison that fascinated her, like astronomy and art history.
She is survived by her children and their spouses, Karen (Michael Politinsky) of Atlanta, GA., Dan (Mary Franklin-Brown) of St. Paul, MN., and Eric (Cindi Bower Franklin) of Anchorage, AK; three grandchildren, Paul McPeak of Portland, OR, and Seth and Gillian Franklin of Anchorage, AK; two step-grandchildren, Geoffrey and Samantha Politinsky of Muncie, IN; her sister, E. Jill Pollock (John Hayosh) of Denver, CO; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her former husband and her sister, Lona McArdle.
The family suggests friends consider contributions in Norma’s memory in lieu of flowers, to Denison University, Second Presbyterian Church or a charity of their choice.
Friends may call an hour prior to the service from 10:30-11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, at The Newark Chapel of Henderson‑Van Atta‑Stickle Funeral & Cremation Service 59 North, Fifth Street, Newark.
Inurnment will be in Oakwood Cemetery, Clinton, Kentucky at a later date
