My Aunt was a great woman of god ! She meant business and never took “no”for an answer! Last time I saw you was in Chick - fila  and I sat down  and had lunch with you , and you told me to go see my Grama Bacon because she needs me , I will never forget that ! You will be missed , love you Auntie Willie Mae ❤️ - Stassia 

I will always smile when I think of Willie.   She always said, "You're lookin' good, girl!" when we passed in the hallway.    It was seldom true in my mind, but she never failed to provide that positive boost.  She was a constant ray of sunshine, and I'm sure the memories she left with friends and family will continue to shine a little light in each person's world.

My prayers go out to Willie's family.  Willie was an amazing person that I will never forget.  We shared family stories and she always had good Godly advice to give.  Her love for life, family and God were a big inspiration to me.  She will be greatly missed.


My condolences to the family.  Ms. Franklin was a mentor to me.  She always had words of encouragement with a smile.  I may not have received the answer I was looking for but I received exactly what I needed.  Ms. Franklin will be miss but never forgotten. 

Sincerely,

I was blessed to be able to give Ms. Willie Mae piano lessons. She was a great student. She wanted to learn, and she caught on very quickly. Our 30 minute lessons always turned into 1 hour, 30 minute+ lessons, because I would end up at the piano while she ministered in word and song. It was always a blessing! I will truly, truly miss Ms. Willie Mae.

I'm going to miss you cuz and I love you very much tell grandma I love her to 

My deepest sympathy to Willie's family.  I worked with Willie during my time in Finance. To know Willie was to know her deep faith and her sharing her wisdom. While going thru a very difficult time in my life she was there with comforting words. She will be missed, but may we gain comfort in knowing she has gained her wings and will soar.

To Willie's family, my deepest condolences.   Heaven has truly gained another Angel.   She was friend and confidant.   Her love for her family and others was unconditional.   I was blessed to have known her and she will forever be in my heart.   

Ms. Willie Mae was just like my mother and my best friend her loving and caring spirit I will always cherish even when we didn’t see each other that much the bond was still there gone too soon but will never be forgotten RiH until we meet again!!

Many of us have worked alongside Willie for many years here at the ESC. During the last few years, every morning she would pass my desk and holler..."Sunshine,  how are you doin today?" and then we would banter back and forth a bit.  I have missed that and her incredible smile for a while now, but I know she's creating her own sunshine up there. I wish her family peace and comfort .

Auntie you will be truly missed.  I will cherish every memory we have shared from my childhood into me becoming an adult. Thanks for being a second mommy to me.  All your prayers ,  tears, love and great advice you given me. Thanks for being there for me when your sister Armetta my mom had her incident, you and Auntie Cynthia never left my side.  I will miss you everyday. I know you are 1 of my Angel's now so keep watch over my family Chance Wright and Armetta Wright we love you Rocelle Wright your niece. 

Will remember Willie for all the love and wisdom she shared and how she made each one of us feel special. Loved her stories about her family and how happy they made her. My best memory from her is how important family and friends are. Prayers for peace and love for her family. 

I will miss Willie's kind smile and gentle spirit.  Much peace and comfort to her family at this time.

Aunt, I will never forget the day I first met you. The loved that was shown is unforgettable. I seen you as everyone mother lol. The pain of knowing I can’t pick up the phone in call you anymore is too great. But, I will not shed tears of sadness I will shed tears of joy for you. Heaven has gained another beautiful angel with a golden heart. Rest In Peace now aunt your job is well done.

Willie Mae I will truly miss you so much. Nobody will ever understand the loss of a child that I loved so much. I’m going miss hearing you call me MRS. Margaret. Only gods knows best. Baby, you have your wings now you can fly thru heavens gates. Willie Mae you are finally free. 
Love , 
Your mother Margaret Jackson 

Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am with the loss of such a dear friend.  Willie and I got to really know each other in the past 8 1/2 years.  She was so special in every way and I consider myself truly blessed to call her my friend. She was there for me in my darkest times and would often pray with me to help me through it.  I loved hearing her talk about her family and her love for her granddaughter.  Willie was truly kind, caring, loving and had such a huge heart.  She touched many lives and we are all so much richer in spirit because of her.  I love you Willie. 

 To Willie's Family... With heartfelt sympathy and understanding thoughts in this time of sadness.
Willie had a heart of gold...I was blessed  to have such a wonderful friend.  She will be dearly missed.

From the first moment I met her, I felt her warm a peaceful spirit. She was always encouraging and uplifting when I was feeling down. Ms. Franklin will truly be missed. My condolences and prayers to her family.

 I was so sad to hear of Willie’s passing. I met Willie  in 1884. I was a bookkeeper at Oviedo High School. Willie  came to audit my books. From the day we met we just clicked. I believe anyone who came in contact with Willie had a beautiful relationship with her. She had such a great soul. If you came in contact with Willie you were going to have a great day! We prayed together every chance we got. She spoke so highly of her family. She loved her granddaughter! Each time she and I spoke,  I would end it with, “I love you” and she would say, “I love you MORE”. I was out shopping one day and came across a plaque that said, “ I love you more” and of course I had to buy it for Willie. She kept it in her cubicle. I miss Willie and her beautiful spirit,  I was blessed to have such a wonderful friend. Heaven has been truly blessed with her presence! 
I will never forget her or her beautiful smile. 

First to the family, my condolences ....I first met Willie Mae during my high school years while working at the Sanford Community Action Center located across from Wilson and Echelberger funeral home.  I became her chauffeur, she was always asking me to drive her here or there, of course I didn’t one bit.  Willie became like a mother to me, always getting on me about something, there was never a day she didn’t have a kind word to say to me.  I will miss her and was sadden of her passing...I know without a doubt, she’s heaven bound....

Love,
Terence & Cheryl Young


This has been very hard to take for me.  We shared so many wonderful moments with each other her about her granddaughter she adored, and me about my daughter. They were almost the same age.  She was my person, some people are just your people. She helped so much when I became a bookkeeper. She always made me feel so special when she saw me. Just a beautiful kind soul, and i will never forget her. Just one of those people that touch somewhere truly special. Since i found out recently she was very sick I prayed so hard. But God had other plans. I knows shes in heaven. I love you Ms. Willie. I'll never forget you. xo

This makes me very sad ! Willie worked with my mother for years at the county office.  My mother since retired and has past on but Willie remembered her very well . I started working  for Teague MS and  when I called up to the county  for help with budgeting Willie asked me  .. Hey , are you Vicki's daughter and  when I said yes she went on  to tell me how much she liked my mother . It was great to reminisce with her and I like to think that we became friends after that .  I believe Willie Franklin had a great way with all the people she came in contact with and made them feel they were her friends as soon as she started to talk to them.  Oh ! Boy if you were lucky to have met her, I know she left a memory with you. I will miss your voice Willie Franklin 

Peace to the family and friends of Willie during this difficult time.  I will remember Willie fondly for her great sense of humor and for all the endless help she gave to me as I was learning my job as a new bookkeeper. I will miss you, Willie. 

Willie was an extraordinary human being.  Since the moment I started in my position she was there to help and any problem wasn't  impossible to resolved. Always in our hearts.

Willie Mae and I shared many a laugh together.  She was an awesome person and will be missed. 

My deepest sympathy to the Family of Willie.  We are deeply saddened by her passing.  She had a kind spirit and grace and will be sorely missed.

"It was a joy to know Willie. We had become very good friends and prayer partners. You have my deepest sympathy."



Willie was such a friendly person, so easy to talk to.  She was so helpful anytime we spoke. She will be sorely missed!

Willie, was such a wonderful woman. She was always willing to help everyone. When I first moved into my roll at one of our schools she was always there for me no matter the questions she always answered me. She will be missed by all of us.

Willie was a ray of sunshine at the ESC.  She was never without a bright smile or a kind word.  We all will miss her.  

Willie was an absolutely amazing person.  She was always there for you with a smile on her face and in her voice.  She will be sorely missed.
