Pamela "Pam" Viola Franklin

Pamela "Pam" Viola Franklin, age 45, of Church Hill, went home to be with the Lord, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with her family by her side. Pam was born in Kingsport on September 25, 1981, to the late Darrell and Kathy Greer Bright.

She was a devoted wife, mother, and mamaw. Pam was a faithful member of Faith Apostolic Church, where she was heavily involved with the youth ministry and led the van ministry. If she was not working as a nurse, you could find her working for God. She was very loyal, giving, loving, kind and had a sense of humor.

In addition to her parents, Pam was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents.

Those left to cherish Pam's memory are her husband of 27 years, Clint Franklin; daughter, Paige Franklin; mother and father in law, Elizabeth and William Franklin; brother in law and sister in law, Willie Franklin (LaTrell), sister in law, Tracy Franklin (Ron Laferty); grandchildren, Darrell, Anna, Journi, and Daniel; special nieces and nephews, Michael Franklin, Jeffrey Johnson, Bradley Bishop, Deandra and Tearyonda; sisters, Darlene Bright (Chuck Bishop), April Bright, and Lori Neff (Wayne); special friends, Pastor Cody, Melissa Cody, Rachel Gregg and Brian Gregg, Stephanie Byington, Ron Laferty, Neil and Becky Jaynes, April Blanton, Jamie Hicks, and her FAC Family.

Pam was dearly loved and adored by all who knew her.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to her dear friend and caregiver, Tracy Franklin.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Faith Apostolic Church from 12:00-2:00pm with funeral services immediately after with Pastor Cody officiating. Burial will follow at Cooper Street Cemetery with Jared Jaynes, Jeffrey Johnson, Michael Franklin, Willie Franklin, Brian Gregg, Josh Dean, Joe Ball, Chris Price, Chris Crawford, and Derrick Baker serving as pallbearers.
