    Virginia Sharon Ledbetter

    January 21, 1947 - January 13, 2022

    This life can sometimes throw a lot of heartache at you at once, and most of the time, it is not easy to handle. But today, we are here to remember the life of Mrs. Virginia Sharon Ledbetter. Born January 21, 1947 to her parents, Clarence Sidney Franklin and Era Franklin. She was their daughter, she was a sister, she was a wife and a mother, but most of us just called her Momma, Granny, or “Ranny.” You ever heard the saying, “People love you the best they can with what they have?” Not necessarily worldly possessions, but what’s in our hearts. Our Momma did that. She loved us all fiercely and raised good kids. She taught us to be hardworking, giving, to have tenacity. Momma was the strongest person we’ve known. She kept going, pushing through to finish whatever needed to be done. She and our dad worked very hard to send all four children to a private Christian school when it certainly wasn’t the most affordable option. Momma Loved the Lord! She loved listening to gospel music, and she loved visiting the homebound members of her church. Momma truly loved us all in the best way she could with the best she had. When you look at Momma’s life, like anyone else’s, it's messy, complicated, and beautiful. She had a way of dealing with hard times like no other. She was strong-willed, determined, and deep down, she knew that it was the Lord who could, and would, carry her through whatever hard times may come. Momma was very caring; she would help those in need, even if it meant that she went without. She tried to give her family the life she didn’t have growing up. She instilled in us a strong sense of family and to strive to always do what’s right. How she lived her life should show us that even though we aren’t worthy, we have a faithful God, and merciful Lord and Savior. Momma, we love you with all of our hearts, always and forever. ‘Til we see you again… A graveside service for Virginia Sharon Ledbetter, age 74, will be on January 18, 2022 at Eastaboga Baptist Church Cemetery at 2 pm. She is preceded by father, Clarence Sidney Franklin, Sr., Mother, Era Stewart Franklin; brother’s, Clarence Franklin, Jr., James Franklin, Paul Franklin, John Franklin, Percy Franklin, and sister, Vickie Poore. She is survived by sisters, Frances (Howard) Roberson, Brenda (Gene) Howell, brother, Bruce (Gay) Franklin; children, Jerre (Staci) Ledbetter, Jr., Kimberly (Chris) Hunter, Jason (Patrece) Ledbetter, Amanda (Robert) Jameson; grandchildren, Blake (Katie and Kaiden) Hunter, Ashley (Gant, Will and Anna Ruth) Morgan, Evan Hunter, Jeremy Ledbetter, Noah Ledbetter, Jakob Ledbetter, Kaelan Ledbetter, Era Margaret Jameson, and many nieces and nephews. Pallbearers will be sons, Jerre and Jason; sons-in-law, Chris and Robert; grandsons, Jeremy, Blake, Jakob, Noah, and Evan. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at http://www.stjude.org/donatetoday
