Freddie Mae spent her life being an outstanding mother, and friend to many. She worked hard at getting any job she tackled done without hesitating. She was skilled at throwing down in the kitchen and was often commended and sought after to prepare the foods she was a master at cooking.
Freddie Mae worked tirelessly to fulfill the many titles she held as wife, mother, friend and family member to all the lives she was a part of during her temporal time on earth. She was able to build special bonds and friendships through the course of her lifetime and was known to keep it real with expectations of doing greater. Freddie Mae was wise beyond her years and nothing could get past her. Freddie Mae was known to say "if you know better you'll do better" with the expectation of increasing knowledge and education. She enjoyed plants and gardening, decorating homes and cooking.
At Freddie Mae's request, her body has been donated to Wright State University Anatomical Gift Program for the advancement of science. Cremains will be buried at Rockafield Cemetery.
