Ms. Ervin was a retired nurse's aide working for over 42 years. Freda worked a number of places over the years and even some time with elderly individuals as their caretaker. She spent most of her time however at Horizons Senior Care and Atrium. She was a dedicated nurse and truly found so much joy in helping others.
Freda enjoyed chancing her luck at the casino. She loved turning forty dollars into something more and she was good at it! In her younger years, she enjoyed painting and acrylics. As time went on Freda spent time relaxing with a crossword puzzle or tending to her most prized possession, her rose bush.
Above all, the most important part of Freda's life was that of her family. She watched her family grow into over 100's of people and she could not have been more thankful for that. She was a dedicated and loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother. Her heart grew with every new addition in the family and she loved each one of them in her own special way. Freda was a strong woman and raised such a beautiful family who will always carry on her loving legacy.
