Obituary For Carolyn J. Franklin

Carolyn Jean Franklin, 76, of St. Mary’s, GA, entered the gates of heaven on Thursday September 21, 2023 after an extended hospital stay for kidney failure and other complications. Her final moments were spent at home surrounded by family and close friends.

Known for her big smile, infectious laugh and unmoving faith in God, Carolyn will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She was born in Goldsboro, NC and lived in Raleigh, NC, Germany and Charleston, SC before recently moving to St. Mary’s, GA to be closer to her family. Carolyn was preceded in death by beloved husband of 25 years Walter Franklin, brother Gary Sills and parents Lorraine Fields and William Sills.

Her life will forever be cherished in the lives of her three daughters: Rita Ali of High Point, NC, Bobbie Jean (John) Heaney of St. Mary’s, GA, and Robin (David) Bailey of Durham, NC; step-children: Algenon Franklin of St. Mary’s, GA, Alvesta Franklin of Charleston, SC, and Amber Franklin of Charleston, SC; her 22 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren; sisters Karen Hammen of St. Mary’s, GA and Sherry Cote of Sevierville, TN; and a host of beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends all of whom she loved “to the moon and back.”

The family will receive friends from 5-7PM on Friday, September 29 at The Low Country Funeral Home located at 1852 E Montague Ave, North Charleston, SC 29405. Funeral service will be held Saturday, September 30 at 10AM at Mt. Carmel RE Church located at 119 Red Bank Rd, Goose Creek, SC 29445.

Condolences

  • 09/28/2023

    To The Family, Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences. Truly the loss of a precious loved one is most difficult. I would like to share something with you that has comforted me, I hope it will comfort you in some way also. It is the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning; nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." We can look forward to a time soon to come when all suffering including death will be done away with forever. For more encouraging information from the bible.
