Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Jane Franklin (nee Patterson) December 28, 1927 – February 3, 2016

Betty died suddenly and unexpectedly at home in Mulmur, Ontario. Loving wife of John Russell Franklin of 66 years, sister and best friend to the late Marg Quinn, proud mother of seven children David (Colleen), Mark (Margie), Nancy, Jane, Peter, Tim (Nicole), and Jennifer (Stephen) and a beloved grandma to eleven grandchildren Katrina (Mark), Natalie, Steven, Erin, Derek, Alexandre, Sylvie (Alper), Jack, Lucy, Frank and Angus. She was a wonderful and much-loved aunt to so many Franklins, Quinns, and Heim-Butlers.
