L. Franklin, the African-American Baptist minister of New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan. BiographyBorn and raised in Shelby, Mississippi, she married Clarence LaVaughn Franklin on June 3, 1936. The couple had children: Erma (1938–2002), Cecil (1940–1989), Aretha (1942–2018), and Carolyn Franklin (1944–1988). Prior to the marriage, Barbara had a son, Vaughn (born December 24, 1934 - died November 7 , 2002 ) from a previous relationship, whom Rev. Franklin adopted shortly after their marriage. Barbara was a gifted pianist and, according to Mahalia Jackson, one of the finest gospel singers in the country.[1] Though her primary role was that of wife and mother, from the time of her marriage she actively participated in musical affairs of the various churches where C. L. served as pastor. Marital trouble stemming from C. L.'s numerous and ongoing infidelities (including a daughter he fathered (named Carol Ellan Kelley [née Jennings]) by Mildred Jennings, a 12-year-old congregant in Memphis in 1940),[1]{{rp|61}} caused Barbara to leave C. L. in 1948. She moved to Buffalo, New York (where her mother resided and where C. L. served as pastor of Friendship Baptist Church from May 1944 to June 1946), making a life for herself working in a music store, giving private music lessons, and training to be a nurse's aide.[1]{{rp|123}} Barbara and C. L. never officially divorced.[1] Although widely misreported, Barbara Franklin did not desert her children. Aretha Franklin disputed that rumor, and C. L. Franklin's biographer, Prof. Nick Salvatore of Cornell University, takes pains to discredit it. According to Salvatore, Barbara Franklin made visits back to Detroit, Michigan, to see her children, and during their summer vacations they traveled to Buffalo for stays with their mother.[1] Barbara Franklin died of a heart attack on March 7, 1952.[1]{{rp|125}} She was 34 years old.
