Lois Ailene Norton Franklin, age 86 of Sevierville, TN, a devoted handmaiden of the Lord, entered into His heavenly rest on Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 9:25 AM. She showed what it was to be a Christian in her daily walk. She taught us to respect others, show compassion, and how to love our Lord. Mom took us to the top of the hills to see God’s handiwork and reveal to us how to worship and walk with Him. Her next great love was for her husband of 64 years, Charles Franklin. Their marriage was pure, with absolute devotion. We were so blessed by God to have a living example of true love on display before us. She was a faithful church member of New Era Baptist Church for most of her life. She taught Sunday school, was a teacher for one year at Little Cove and worked at Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project. She was preceded in death by a son Art Sylvester Franklin, mother Mary Carnes Norton, father George (Crick) Norton, sister Stella Faye Gibson, brother Homer Norton, and son-in-law Kenneth Warren Clabo.
