In remembrance of Rachael Franklin. A loving daughter, sister, friend, and most importantly, a mother.

Rachael was born in Chicago, Illinois, but spent her teen and young adult years in Kankakee where she had her beautiful children, her fab 5, and grand babies.

Sons Ryan (grand babies MikeJakob & Nymeria), Shawn, & Andrew Houston. Daughters Jaelyn (grand baby Ky'Meir Wilkins) & Jecilyn Franklin. Who were her entire world.

Rachael loved spending time with family & friends, listening to music, and having fun. She enjoyed playing bingo on Wednesdays. She worked hard her entire life and never gave up when it got too tough. She was a strong, brave, & beautiful soul.

Besides her kids she leaves behind her parents Scott & Lorali Salzman. Brother Richard Sinks. Sisters Crystal & Michael Hampton & Kerbi Seabolt. Niece Paige Kral. Nephews Lucas Seabolt & Jeremy Justice. Special Mom Sojo Allen. Special sister Aimee Ruel. She also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a crew of friends.

She is preceded in death by all of her grandparents, brothers Daniel & Michael Seabolt, & step dad Eddie Yelton.

She leaves us with thoughts of sharks, dragons, and fairytales. The love of Stitch, the moon, & butterflies. And to always #RememberWhatIsReal.
