I pray that her daughters are doing well along with her family. Loosing a love one can be hard. But with faith in God, will help them to have the faith, determination that she had. Take care. Brenda Boyd

As our next door neighbor in Raleigh, we experienced our first taste of Southern Hospitality from Freda. Memories of her laughter, her generosity, her love of the sun, and thoughtful advice on southern culture remain bright.

May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.

I cherish my memories of talking, laughing and just getting to spend time with this beautiful, dedicated and highly intellectual lady. We were neighbors when she lived in Lumberton, NC, and we spent several Saturday nights watching movies and ordering take out food! (She loved Dirty Dancing and she would say that she should have played the part Jennifer Grey was blessed to have in the movie!) I loved and admired her laugh and her wit! Freda was always so much fun to be around! She encouraged me in so many ways and I was blessed to have her as a neighbor and friend! Although the news of her death was heartbreaking, I'm glad she is at peace. I know without a doubt that our Heavenly Father welcomed dear Freda into her home of beautiful, and eternal rest. Until we meet again, Freda....❤

My heart is broken. Freda was my best friend and roommate while we attended Wake Forest University. I feel so blessed to have shared those years so closely with the kindest, smartest, funniest, and most caring person I have ever known. Our friendship was so special. Not a day passed that she didn't make me laugh and brighten every situation. Freda was loved by everyone. Hardly a person on campus did not know her. She was so fun to be with that everyone was immediately attracted to her. There was no one she wouldn't befriend. We were all so lucky to have had her in our lives.
Freda was studious and focused. Law school was her goal and she never took her eye off the prize. To be represented by Freda was to have the best and brightest.
Through the years, Freda never lost her ability to love deeply. Her daughters were so precious to her. Her love for them was immeasurable. Most of our conversations revolved around their lives and the joy and pride she took in everything they did. I pray their wonderful memories with their mom will get them through this difficult time.
My condolences go out to her whole family. She loved them all so deeply.
I will forever miss the beautiful person I was lucky enough to have shared my life with. May she forever live on in our hearts.

Freda will Always have a place in our heart. She was such a strong person always thinking of others. Jenny and Jordan I remember the FUN days when you girls were in 2nd grade with your mom being so caring for less fortunate friends and providing DAILY snacks for them. What a "SPECIAL MOM". Freda will never leave us as we cherish such wonderful memories of a devoted, caring, and loving person.

I miss you so terribly bad. I know that you're not gone but only absent from your body and you are with our Lord Jesus Christ. I know for a fact you are with him.
You were one of my most dearest friends ever. You were probably the only person on earth that actually understood me. I will never forget our conversations. I wish I could have been more of a rock for you. You never faulteted on being mine. I love you Freda Black. Your footprints are PERMENANT here and THANK YOU for all that you have done! I will see you again my friend!
Love, Gina Chappell
