She shared a special bond with each one of her family members and friends that made them feel special when they were just in her presence. Freda treasured life, could always find humor in the darkest of times, had a quick wit and she had a smile for everyone she ever met. She loved living life to the fullest, camping, campfires, her beloved trips to Disney World with her Princess and Prince of her very being. She was a lover of good music, sunrises, sunsets, long rides and visiting her beaches at Assategue and Chincoteague with her family and friends who became family. She measured wealth in friendship and laughter, lived her life like there was no tomorrow and loved with a passion that is already greatly missed.
