Magdalene Rose Franco

Magdalene (Maggie) Rose Franco 20 years old was born on November 11, 2002 to Ruben and Susan Franco.  

What a joy it was to have a newborn baby at Thanksgiving time. She was so tiny, cute, and looked like a teddy bear.  

She met her Savior on January 22, 2023 after a tragic car accident. Can you imagine what it was like to enter into glory with four of your sweet friends.  

Maggie was preceded in death by grandparents Doris Hershberger Jones, Ruben and Erminia “Nana” Franco, and special cousin Zachary “Bubba” Baker.  

She is survived by her grandparents David and Pat Jones, her mom and dad, Ruben and Susan Franco, three brothers, Josh, Justin (Laurie), Jacob (Jessica), five sisters, Dori Young (Darius), Rachel Marie, Anna, Joy Cahoone (Lucas), and Lily. Also, Sarah Wimberly and son Landon Luplow, who will always be a part of our family.  

Maggie loved her nieces and nephews so much; Kaylee and Tris Franco, Christian, Cruz, Francesca, Rosalina, and Victor Franco, Davina and Gabriella Young, Canaan Goodnight, Holly and Luke Cahoone. She had three more on the way this year (Laurie, Dori, and Lily). And we know she is smiling as she is keeping some of her nieces or nephews company in heaven right now.  

We are so thankful that we know through her life and all her writings that she was saved and knew Jesus and wanted to share that with others. Whether it was at Sylvan Hills, Jackson Hole Bible College, the ball fields, Sonic where she worked, or at home, everyone knew Maggie loved the Lord and was a light for Him. We hope that when you say Maggie’s name you will think of her in heaven and how happy she must be.  

1 Corinthians 2:9 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.”
