Suzanne Franklin
WOODSTOCK — Suzanne (Vaillant) Franklin, 66, of Stone Hill Road, died Aug. 8, 2013, in St. Francis Hospital in Hartford after a short battle with lung cancer. She was the wife of the late Richard W. Franklin.
She was born in 1946 in Putnam, the daughter of the late Eugene and Gabriel (Bardier) Vaillant.
She attended St. Mary’s School and graduated from Putnam High School in 1964. It was here that she met her future husband, Richard. Together they raised four beautiful daughters, who were the center of her universe.
Suzanne was a well known member of the community. As an active member of the Putnam Rotary Club for many years, she enjoyed serving as president from 2002-2003, receiving the Paul Harris Fellow Award. She also served as secretary for the Putnam Rotary Foundation. She was a “champion” for the Northeast Chamber of Commerce. She served for 11 years on the Board of Directors and in 2006 she served as the president of the organization. In 1996, Sue was the recipient of the last Athena Award presented from the Chamber. In 2008, she was recognized with the Chamber’s coveted Gold Key Award, an award presented for outstanding service. Suzanne was co-owner of Franklin Pharmacy and Home Health, Inc., and The Healthy Lady both formerly located in Woodstock.
Of the many accomplishments Suzanne has had, being a mother and Nana to 10 has been her greatest. She also enjoyed traveling to Aruba and Maine with friends and family.
She leaves her daughters, Amy Ponte (Rick) of Woodstock, Melissa Duncan (Jeffrey) of Woodstock, Rebecca Anderson (Otto) of Woodstock, and Allison Dumas (Justin) of Putnam; grandchildren; Jessica, Cody, Chase, Parker, Garrett, Dominic, Olivia, R.J., and Avery; one great-grandson, Aiden; brother, Gerry Vaillant (Sandy) of Putnam; aunt Jeanne Lavallee; her special friend, Patty Breault and her goddaughter Susan Byrnes who helped Suzanne greatly during this difficult time; her dog, Zoe.
