Writer ~ Rebecca Gaillard Franklin Rebecca Franklin was born in Pontotoc County near Thaxton, Mississippi in the home of her mother's parents, most likely the same house in which the quilts were made. She grew up in Ripley, Mississippi, then attended Methodist Hospital School of Nursing and Memphis State University, prior to completing her nursing education at NEMJC in Booneville, MS. Rebecca now lives outside Atlanta in Dallas, Georgia. She retired last June from a 40-plus-year nursing career. Rebecca has two children and three grandchildren who keep her well occupied.
