Nina Virginia Franklin passed away peacefully from this earth Friday, July 31. Born on June 23, 1931, Nina spent her childhood years in Albertville where she attended Albertville High School. Her college years took her to Coker College in South Carolina, then on to Auburn University where she graduated with a teaching degree in physical education. After graduating she taught high school in both Opp and in Decatur. She was a faithful member of the North Broad Street Church, and after retiring dedicated her free time to delivering Meals on Wheels throughout the community. Nina loved her family, her friends, her life in Albertville, and watching Auburn play football every football season. She was a true War Eagle!

Nina leaves behind her sister in Franklin, Virginia. Anne Gay; her niece in Southern California, Ferreby Sinclair; her nephew in Richmond, Virginia., Lee Gay; and her great-niece in Dallas, Texas, Ansley Sinclair. She will be dearly missed by all. Due to Covid and Nina’s wish that everyone stay safe and well, the family is planning a private service.
