On May 20, 2026, Sheila Hughes Franklin passed away peacefully in Baltimore, Maryland at age 75. She is survived by her beloved husband Hal, and her son Sean, his wife Kristen, and their daughter Meena.  She is lovingly remembered by her sister Maureen Weinhold and her husband Fran, and her brother Richard Hughes and his wife Emily.
Sheila was born and grew up in the Locust Point area of Baltimore City. She attended Seton High School where she met her best friend for life Mary Loane. She graduated in 1968 and began work as an Administrative Assistant for the State of Maryland, retiring in 2008. She had a great love of reading, watching old movies (her favorite actor was Cary Grant), and eating a damn good hamburger! She was an avid dog lover, and each summer she spent her vacation visiting ocean resorts from Bethany Beach, to the Outer Banks, to Myrtle Beach.  As the youngest of ten children, she had cousins, nephews, nieces, great nephews and great nieces too numerous to mention.
Friends and family are welcome to the family owned Ruck Towson Funeral Home on Thursday June 4 from 10-11 AM with a memorial service to start at 11 AM.
