Mary FREEMAN Obituary
Her passions were her Lord and Savior and her huge loving family. She was an active member of Poquoson Baptist Church for many years, and loved to quilt and spent many hours creating beautiful quilts that were treasured by those lucky enough to receive one.
Mrs. Freeman was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 50 years, Wesley Forrest Freeman; and her grandson, Ronald Lee Roundy.
She is survived by two sons, Wesley Freeman and wife, Nellie, and Edward Frances Freeman; two daughters, Annie Roundy and husband, Frank, and Bertha Ward and husband, Jerry; a brother, James Sparrer; 12 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; 12 great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends from 7 to 8:30 p.m. tonight at Claytor Rollins Funeral Home, and other times at Wesley Freeman's home, 11 Woodland Rd., Poquoson. A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at the funeral home chapel by the Rev. Donald G. Marsh. Burial will follow at Parklawn Memorial Park, Hampton.
A special thanks to her daughter, Annie Roundy and husband, Frank and their daughters, Teresa Roundy and Karen Sparrow, for taking such excellent care of her mother.

My thoughts are with all of Mrs. Freemans family. She was the most loving and kind person I have ever known. She was like a mother to me and I shared the best times of my life with her...making quilts and going to the fabric stores. We laughed so much sometimes... it hurt our ribs. She loved her family so much. Annie, you and Frank took such good care of her. She will always be remembered as a kind , and loving person who opened her heart and home to all. I love you "Granny".
