Christina Freeman Obituary

June 17, 1929 - May 30th, 2020 Christina Andreae Rice Freeman passed away at almost 91 years old (of old age) at Lenbrook Retirement Community. She was preceded in death by her husband Federal Judge Richard C Freeman and mother Herta Schartle. Christina spent most of her childhood summers and much of her later life at her beloved Lake Rabun home. Her maternal grandfather August Andreae was one of the earliest developers of Lake Rabun's residential community and the original owner of Lake Rabun Hotel. Christina attended the University of Georgia where she belonged to Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. In 1950 she postponed her education to marry Richard C Freeman. She later graduated from Oglethorpe University with a degree in elementary education. Christina loved to paint and travel the globe in her free time. She also belonged to numerous organizations, among them the Rabun Gap Nacoochee Guild, The Children of the American Revolution, Young Matrons Circle for Tallulah Falls School, Riverside West Garden Club, Northside Women's Club and Fine Arts Study Club. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Humane Society.

I was so saddened recently to hear of Christina’s passing. The wonderful memories that I have of her will endure as long as I live. She was more than an aunt by marriage to me ...we were like sisters-in-heart for decades! I kept all her hundreds of letters and collected them in a binder, making a huge book of documented memories, advice, and sharing of our lives. She was a prolific writer and so very talented, and amazingly perceptive. Amy, my daughter who adored Christina, as she did Amy, and I loved our visits with her and long chats over the phone, and her sincere supportive ways through the years. You will forever be missed by Amy and me. Loved you so much...

I have just found out about Christina's passing.
She was always such a great neighbor to have at Lake Rabun and will be truly missed.
She's truly one of the most gracious ladies I've ever known.
Fly high, Christina.

I will miss my precious friend. We attended Washington Seminary for Girls in Atlanta GA. So many special memories going to Lake Raven and stay in her grandparents hotel. Eating the homemade apple sauce was the best! I will miss her dearly.
