Sandra L. Franklin

Born on October 18th, 1957, in Killeen, TX, Sandy devoted her life to nurturing the minds and hearts of children. For 30+ years, she served as an elementary educator, touching countless young lives with her patience, wisdom, and joyful spirit. She believed every child was a gift from God and made it her mission to help each one discover their God-given potential.

A member of Memorial Baptist Church of Killeen, TX, Sandy lived out her faith daily through acts of kindness, encouragement, and prayer. She was always ready with a warm smile and gentle word for anyone in need.

She is survived by her niece, Jennipher Renea Galvan and her husband Ernest, her nephew, Robert Paul Gann, her niece, Rebecca Denise Gann, numerous great-nieces and great-nephews and a host of extended family, friends, former students, and colleagues who will cherish her memory. She was preceded in death by her father, James Robert Gann, her mother, Norma Muriel Parker Gann, her brother, Ronald Ray Gann, and her great-niece Kailyn Elizabeth Gann.

The family finds comfort knowing she is now in the presence of her Savior and reunited with loved ones who have gone before her.

Her life was a living testimony of grace, service, and love, and her legacy will continue in the lives of those she taught, mentored, inspired, and prayed for.
