EDNA IRENE FREEMAN

In loving memory of Edna Freeman, who passed away peacefully Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2001.
She was born on a farm in Mountain Iron, Mn. on Sept. 25, 1929. Edna was united in marriage to Allan Freeman on Nov. 1, 1946, and moved to Fort Frances, Ont. that same year to raise their family.
Edna loved her family and cherished spending time with them whenever they were together. She especially loved being up the lakes at the family cabin, fishing and spending time with the ones she loved most.
No matter how she was feeling, she always had a smile for everyone.
Although she had a limited knowledge of sports, when her family became involved, she became a big fan of Muskie hockey, and most recently took to the Borderland Thunder.
In earlier years, Edna was a leader in the Boy Scouts for 10 years. In later years, Edna worked briefly at the Rainy Lake Hotel, Bayview Motel, and Midtown Motel.
In recent years, she enjoyed bowling with her friends, and singing in the Zion Lutheran Church Choir.
