Frieda Belle Carpenter

You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole strength and your whole mind, and your neighbor as yourself. Frieda lived by these words and went home to be with her Lord and Savior at 4:30am Monday, June 15, 2015, at her residence in Baton Rouge. Frieda was born March 22, 1925 in Lecompte, Louisiana, the last of eleven children born to Eugene Ernest&Martha Benelia Casey Carpenter. Frieda was a resident of Baton Rouge and an executive in the insurance industry for many years. After her retirement, she enjoyed spending time with her friends and family at her home or at her camp.
