Irma L. (Rohleder) Friedman

Newburgh, IN

Irma L. (Rohleder) Friedman, of Newburgh, IN, beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by those who loved her June 1, 2016. She was born August 25, 1939, in Ireland, IN, to the late Daniel and Marie (Wehr) Rohleder.

Irma was/is a beautiful, kind, thoughtful and gentle soul whose grace and generosity touched many lives. This was visible in her many philanthropic efforts and through her giving and loving nature.

Irma enjoyed spending time with family, dear friends and especially her grandchildren. She is the epitome of strength, beauty and class, with a smile that could light up a room – a special lady who will be missed dearly.

The family is most grateful for the loving care she received throughout her illness.

Elise and I send our sympathies for the loss of your mother. Irma had a great uplifting spirit and wonderful nature. I had the opportunity to play a round of golf with her at an event and it was a memorable day. She will be missed by all that knew her.
