In Primary she met Rodolfo C. Franco, a child who later became her best friend. When she was 18, her family moved to Utah. At that time, she and Rodolfo knew they wanted to marry, but Rodolfo was required to serve in the Argentine military for a time.
The two wrote letters, and when he completed his military service, they married on December 15, 1978, in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of three sons.
Following in the footsteps of Sister Franco’s father, a watchmaker, the couple worked at a watch and clock shop in Salt Lake City for nearly three decades.
It was in Primary where Sister Franco gained a testimony of the gospel. She recalls, “I learned that if I had a question, I could ask my Father in Heaven and I would get an answer.” This same principle has helped her throughout her life.
After graduating from high school in 1977, she moved to Utah with her family, where her father continued his career as a watchmaker. This turned into a successful family business that specialized in fixing and selling watches, a company that Sister Franco was a part of for 28 yrs
She worked in the family business when her sons were at school and when long hours kept her from being home, but she always kept her children’s spiritual nurturing a priority: “We made scripture study each morning a must before they left to school,” she said.
