She was preceded in death by her brother Frederick H Ingersoll of Buckley and her parents Homer F.and Joyce Anne (DeWyre) Ingersoll of Fife Lake. Freida's most cherished time was spent with her Family, and her brothers and sisters in Christ at Kalkaska Baptist church where she was a member for many years. The heart of her life was her grandchildren, she enjoyed teaching them how to manicure the rose garden, make homemade strawberry jam, and the secret of her legendary holiday cream pies. She also spent many hours in the warm embrace of her grand puppies Hazel and Gus. She was the Grandmother and Aunt that never missed an event whether it be a ball game, birthday party, wedding, or graduation she was always there. Her special heart and her down to earth personality touched everyone she came in contact with, whether it be family, friends, or a stranger on the street. She lived her life from start to finish with one guiding purpose, her love of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, and because of that she has left a legacy that will be unparalleled.
