Frieda immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1953 at the age of 24. Worked domestic jobs to help support the family. Married to husband Marcello in 1957. Mother of one son, Gino. Daughter in-law Tracy.
Grandmother to Madison, Hayden and Ryley and great grandmother to Charlotte. Pre deceased by parents Josef and Elsa Kaltenbach (Ganz) and siblings in Europe, Canada and the USA. (Heiner, Marliese, Max, Siegfried and Walter). One surviving brother, Otto, in British Columbia.
Frieda was a long-time volunteer at the Royal Alexandria Hospital and Charles Camsell Hospital. Frieda enjoyed hosting delicious meals at family get togethers and she would often have at least 12 different plates of food on the table for everyone to enjoy. Her hobbies included camping and fishing with Marcello at Carson Lake, crocheting and knitting as well as going to bazars and spending time with family. She would join Marcello and attend the grandkids sports at many arenas and baseball diamonds watching them play, and sometimes sleeping, as they grew up. In her later years, Frieda also enjoyed going to the Westmount Seniors Centre for exercise and socializing.
She was the best wife, mother, mother in-law, grandmother and great grandmother anyone could hope for. She will be dearly missed.
