With husband Barrie after 65 years of marriage holding her hand, she left us looking out the window of her own home, at the tree filled street, and watching the neighbours walking their dogs.
Barrie, while deeply grieving, takes great comfort that he was able to keep this longtime heartfelt promise.
Also grieving are son Steve (Beverly), daughter Deb (Gary) and grand-daughter Emma.
As the eldest of five sisters, Freda was predeceased by Edna, Sheila, Yvonne, and Avril. Nieces Dawn and Karen in the UK are sharing in our grieving.
Freda leaves behind a long active life of working, social activities, travelling, and her loss will leave a big hole in many hearts.
The family’s grateful thanks are offered to the palliative care team of PSWs, nurses and Doctors who showed incredible care and love in the final weeks of Freda’s life.
Special thanks are also given to Reverend Canon Stephen Kirkegaard and the team of Parish Nurses who visited Freda and Barrie at home to give them their personal offers of support.
Arrangements are in the hands of Giffen-Mack Funeral Home at 4115 Lawrence Avenue East in West Hill.
Cremation has already taken place and plans are in hand for a Celebration of Life at the Church Of The Holy Trinity on 85 Livingston Road in Guildwood at 11:00am to 2:30pm on Saturday 18th January.
The service will be followed by refreshments in the lower level of the church.
Freda’s final journey will end on the beach at Cresswell in Northumberland England, where she often played with her four younger sisters during and after the years of World War II.
