Freddie and Tasso settled in Odessa, Texas in 1955 and together they raised three beautiful sons, Freddie Romain, Steven Roy and Dennis Rand.
Freddie was an excellent seamstress and made decorative western wear for various groups such as The Odessa Chuckwagon Gang during the annual Sandhills Stock Show and Rodeo and The Permian Basin Oil Show. Freddie was active in her church and worked several years at the Baptist Student Union at Odessa College. She worked nights as a bookkeeper for both the local hospital in Odessa as well as her church. Painting was Freddie’s passion. She developed strong skills and shared them with others by leading painting classes and her home was filled with her still life, landscape and nature paintings proudly displayed.
