Asher resident Doris Irene Franklin, 92, passed away Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at Unity North Medical Center in Shawnee. She was born October 6, 1915 in Wanette, Oklahoma. She was the second child of four children born to Marlin A. Pinson and Lula DeJarnette Pinson. Doris grew up on a farm south of Wanette where she learned how to work hard as a young girl picking cotton and husking corn. She graduated from Wanette High School and later attended East Central University in Ada. There she graduated with a bachelors of Science degree in Education. For seven years she taught elementary education before she met and married the love of her life. On June 5, 1947, she married Ellis Wayne Franklin, a young man from Wanette. In 1948 they bought a farm, one mile north of Asher where Ellis farmed and Doris worked as a mother and homemaker. Doris was a member of the Wanette Pentecostal Holiness Church for more than 60 years. She was the church secretary for nearly 40 years, taught Sunday School and was the church pianist for many years.

Doris had a beautiful handwriting and corresponded with relatives and friends, in-state and out, up to the time of her death.
