Arthelia had two children before marrying Norman; Millicent Franklin and Hilton Franklin (deceased). From these two marriages a host of Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, Great- Great Grandchildren, daughters-In-Law and Sons-In-Law.
Norman worked various jobs in his early childhood. He worked for the Hoopers and later he worked for the Norfolk Dairy. He also worked at the Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission (WSSC) for fifteen years, and lastly for the Trotts of Dunkirk as a produce attendant.
Norman was a faithful member of Cooper’s United Methodist Church for many years. He was a member of the Cooper’s United Methodist Men and the Sanctuary Choir. He was also a Trustee member and Praise and Worship Leader, until November 2014, when he was no longer able to attend.
Norman used to walk to St. Edmond’s United Methodist Church with his mother at a young age in the evenings. One of the Trustee Members came and asked him, if he wanted to be saved. Come to the Mourners Bench and accept Christ as his Lord and Personal Savior, but he did not. Later in the years he received Christ, and became saved and ever since he lived a life for Jesus. He knew he could not have made the change in his life, it had to be Jesus. He would always thank Jesus that he received Him in time. No matter where he went, he would testify of the goodness of the LORD.
