Freeda began her life in the Pacific northwest, Washington state, lived all over the U.S., and settled in Phoenix, Arizona in 1982. Freeda was one of the friendliest people ever, the saying “never met a stranger” fits her exactly. She loved doing charity work as an active member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. After her husband’s passing, she spent time comforting recent widows. Freeda was an excellent and sought-after dance partner. She loved licorice, both red and black. Freeda loved nature, camping, and was very active going to the gym and hiking. She loved traveling and went all over the U.S. with her family. Freeda retired from Hi Tech forming as a toolmaker and machinist. She revered the work of Rosie the Riveter and always said women could do any job they desire. She was a talented worker, often promoted to supervisor. In retirement, Freeda kept busy with part time jobs and volunteering at Pure Heart food pantry.

There will be a Celebration of Life held for Freeda on 09/16/23 at Fraternal Order of Eagles, Deer Valley at 12:00 PM.
