Sally I. Frankland Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Sally, Cookie, or Aunt Cookie, as many knew her, was born on September 13, 1944 and lost her brave battle against cancer July 14, 2022. She was the daughter of James A. Kearns and Margaret (Kearns) Detty. Sally loved all of "her" kids, whether they were in her church youth group, or the Jackson High School Band that she chaperoned for many years and even their kids as they grew up, married and had children. She could do anything she set her mind to do. She was the Christian Church secretary, worked at Holzer Clinic in the DTC area, stocked magazines on store shelves, volunteered at the Jackson Food Pantry and was a member and one time president of the Jackson Ministerial Association. One of her best loved jobs was being a member of the Jackson High School, Class of 1962 Alumni Committee. She always looked forward to their annual parties so she could see her classmates and remember all of their good times. If something needed to be done, just tell her, then stand back and watch. She was just that kind of a person. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by son, James D. Frankland, her grandparents Mayfield and Edith White, her brother James R. Kearns, half-brothers David M. Kearns, Jimmy Kearns, Ronnie Kearns and half- sister, Marg Ann Keaton. She is survived by her husband of 58 years, James C. Frankland of Jackson, half-brother Steve (Judy) Kearns, brother-in-law Donald R. Frankland, sisters-in-law Christine Chambliss, Janet Kearns-Faught, Teresa Kearns, uncle Jack Blackburn, cousin Thomas (Sally) Kearns and many other cousins, nieces and nephews. Visitation will be at Mayhew-Brown Funeral Home Jackson, Friday July 22, 2022 between 1:00 and 3:00 PM with services immediately following at 3PM. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Jackson County Dog Pound would be greatly appreciated. Condolences may be emailed to the family at: www.mayhew-brownfuneralhome.com
