FRANKLIN (Jefferson), Eva Marilyn

Passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of December 1, 2020. Eva was born in Mount Pleasant, on May 8, 1939, the fifth child of Lloyd and Violet Jefferson. She grew up in Marshalltown, and graduated from Digby Regional High School. After graduation, Eva moved to Ottawa, and then Halifax to work before returning to Digby, where she married Harold Franklin (deceased). Eva then settled in Acaciaville, where she dedicated herself to raising sons, Stephen and Jeffrey. In later years she lived in Digby and spent her final years in Tideview Terrace. Eva was predeceased by sisters, Rita George (formerly of Truro), and Elizabeth Franklin (formerly of Digby); and brother, Lloyd ( Jr.) (formerly of Digby). She is survived by sister, Shirley Foster, Halifax; and brothers, Frank Jefferson, Bellville, Ont.; and Everett Jefferson, Parksville, Vancouver Island, B.C. She is also survived by her sons, Stephen, Riverview, N.B.; and Jeffrey, Kentville. Eva was keenly interested in crafts including needle work and homemade ornaments. She was a woman of deep and quiet faith. The Family would like to thank the staff of Tideview Terrace who provided excellent, compassionate care in her final years. Because of COVID-19, there will be no visitation and a memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made, with thanks, to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or the Canadian Cancer Society. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Kaulbach family Funeral Home, Annapolis Royal. Online condolences may be sent to: www.kaulbachfamilyfuneralhome.com
