Together, they raised two sons, Sydney and Michael, and cherished their role as grandparents to Erik, Paul, and Emily, as well as great-grandmother to Sienna.
Frieda was a devoted homemaker, known for her baking, hospitality, and community involvement, including volunteering at senior care homes and supporting various charitable causes. Her love for music and dance brought joy to her life, as she participated in the Pioneer Pemmican Club and local music groups.
Frieda leaves behind her son Michael (Judith Valois), grandsons Erik (Haleigh) and Paul (Emma), granddaughter Emily, great-granddaughter Sienna, and her younger sisters, Margaret and Rose. She was predeceased by her husband Maurice (2020), her son Sydney (1994), as well as her seven older siblings.
