Freida was a deeply beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.

She had a deep love for gardening and flowers as well as birdwatching. But her favorite activity was traveling with the love of her life, Ron. They clocked many miles driving across the United States often visiting National Parks with their chosen routes bringing them close to family and friends for visits. Their car was a throwback containing actual folding maps and atlases with many musical CDs to keep them entertained.

A celebration of Life and Memorial Service will be held November 11, 2024 beginning at 10am in the Chapel at the Alto-Reste Park, 109 Alto-Reste Park Altoona, PA with a graveside service to follow where she will join the love of her life in their last earthly destination park.

Her family wishes to extend a special thanks to the dedicated staff of The Social at Savannah and Hearth Hospice.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in memory of Freida to the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org).
