Freda was an active member of St. Luke Presbyterian Church in Middletown for over 50 years and appreciated decades of love and support from her church family. Her hospitality and baking skills were well-known by those who knew her. Her pies were the stuff of legends. She was an avid card player. Her card-playing friends were a joy to her. She enjoyed many years of square dancing. She was happiest when she was able to do things for others. She was a 10+gallon blood donor, a reliable volunteer at church, and loved generously. Her neighbors at Berkley Square added companionship that she valued dearly.
