Carleen Hollenback Franklin

August 15, 1933 — November 7, 2018

Carleen Hollenbeck Franklin age 85, closed the book on this life on Wednesday, November 7 at her home in Cleveland, TN. Her story began in Canastota NY born to Dorothy and Carol Hollenbeck. She was preceded in death by husband of 64 years, Bobby Lee Franklin. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Frank (Jodie Carol) Westwood III, and Mrs. Scott (Robin Lee) Nigh, two grandsons, Dylan (Sophie) Nigh and Jacob Nigh, great granddaughter Zoey Nigh and her best friend Sarah LaPlant.
Carleen had a career in Tupperware than began in Jacksonville and included Orlando and West Palm Beach, Fl. Upon retirement, she opened a new chapter as a motivational speaker with her best friend Sarah. It was her lifelong mission to encourage and empower others to move forward and to overcome their challenges. She was also past President of the Florida Speakers Assn.
A voracious reader, she had her own library, and picked up a game of Scrabble at every opportunity. Her love of words provided her with a unique talent of naming so many foster pups at Westwood Farms. She loved most animals and all flowers.
Celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to https://health.usf.edu/medicine/neurosurgery/ceabr/giving to help fund research on this horrible disease that frustrated her so, taking away her beloved words and life. She will be deeply missed. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Caris Healthcare.
