Pinkie M Franklin

She was born in East Texas on November 5, 1937 but lived most of her life in El Paso, Texas. Pinkie treasured her time as a lead teacher at the YWCA El Paso Del Norte for 33 years. She loved family, gardening, fishing, children, and homemaking.

Pinkie took tremendous pride in hard work, exuded frank honesty, and a boundless commitment to her faith. As a mother, she instilled these qualities in her three children whom she will be remembered by: eldest daughter, Peggy McRae (John Sr.), youngest daughter, Ernestine Franklin, and her youngest child and son, Kenneth Roosevelt Franklin Sr. Pinkie was an honored grandmother to 11 grandchildren, as well as great grandmother to several generations of great and great-great grandchildren. Pinkie is also survived by her devoted younger siblings: Helen Smith, Bonnie Cabiness (James), Clevent “Susie” Brown (Joseph), Dianne Johnston, (Harold), Danny Anderson (Yong), Patricia Minnifield, and Brenda Mciver (Paul).

Pinkie joins in divine reunion with her mother and father: Clevent Anderson II (née Patterson) and Herman Anderson Sr. and her siblings: Rosemary Anderson, James Anderson, Katie Jackson, Vallie Mae Mood, Shirley T. Jones, and Herman C. Anderson Jr.
