home surrounded by an out-pouring of love from family and friends.
Freda was truly a remarkable woman. She was giving to a fault, beautiful, strong, opinionated
and never stopped smiling. She was most happy surrounded by family and had a huge heart
for the little ones. She hosted family dinners and kept a never-ending home-baked cookie
supply in her cookie jar. She lived a long, lovely life and leaves a huge legacy. She will be dearly
missed and live on in the hearts of her loved ones.
Freda was born April 14, 1926 in Norwich, Norfolk, England to Leslie and Grace Golby. She
met the love of her life Johnnie while he was stationed near her home town during World War II.
They were married May 26, 1945 in Norwich, settled in Napavine, Washington and spent 65
loving years together until his death in June of 2010.
Freda was preceded in death by her loving Johnnie, her parents, brothers Russell Wiggly and
Peter Golby, sister Betty Styger and infant grandson Michael Olson. She is survived by her
children: Pat Olson, Ellen Munson, Elisa (Ron) Steel, Dave (Terry) Styger, Jeff (Jennifer) Styger
and Chip (Darla) Styger. Also surviving are 18 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and many
others who called her “Mom” and “Grandma”.
The family sincerely thanks Assured Hospice for the tender care provided to Mom during her
final days at home.
