Janice Franklin

October 9, 1952 ~ November 07, 2026

Jan Franklin was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose kindness, generosity, and loving spirit touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Jan had a heart of gold and was the kind of person who would give the shirt off her back to someone in need. She never hesitated to lend a helping hand, offer a comforting word, or make someone feel welcome. Her selfless nature was simply who she was, and she leaves behind a legacy that will live on through her family and friends.

Jan found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved crafting, crocheting, and, of course, a good shopping trip. But nothing brought her greater happiness than her grandchildren. Whether creating something with her hands, sharing a laugh, or simply spending time together, Jan had a special way of turning ordinary moments into treasured memories.

Jan is survived by her loving husband, Robert Franklin; her daughter, Alysia Melara, and son-in-law, Chad Melara; her son, Jason Pemberton, and his wife, Randi Jones; and her cherished grandchildren, Madeline Milam, Hailey Milam, Morgan Melara, Hunter Jones, William Pemberton, Karly Pemberton, Breanna Hajek, and Kylie Jones.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Jackie Garner, and her sister, Tammie Sitton.

Though Jan will be deeply missed, her memory will live on in the countless lives she touched and the beautiful moments she shared with those she loved.
