Freida Jane Bartlett, 96, of Chicago, IL (formerly of Winamac, IN) passed away peacefully at the GlenCrest Healthcare Nursing Home in Chicago at 2:30 AM Sunday, March 22, 2015.
Freida was born on July 28, 1918 in Kentland, IN and grew up in Hammond, IN. She married James Dorsey of Wilmington, IL and they raised 3 daughters Diane, Marcia, and Bridget...all of whom she was very proud. She attended the Presbyterian and the Baptist churches, organized the Little Women 4-H Club, and threw the best birthday parties any daughters could ever want.
In 1956, Freida graduated from the Joliet School of Beauty Culture. She ran a successful shop in her home before moving to Kankakee, IL where she established the Freida Jane Styling Center. She received her Advanced Cosmetology degree from Southern Illinois University and became a highly-regarded color specialist.
In the winter of 1972, Freida enrolled at West Kankakee High School to finish up needed credits and proudly received her High School Diploma! For relaxation and continued-education she studied oil painting and sketching, as well as courses in government and public speaking. Freida was an active member of the Immanuel Baptist Church, the National Business Women’s Club as well as the National Beauty Salon Association.
After relocating to Winamac, Freida married long-time resident Dean Bartlett. For several years they shared many celebrations with their combined families and enjoyed wintering in Florida before Dean passed away.
During her 30+ years in Winamac, Freida served as Deaconess for the Christian Church and leader of the Women’s Bible Study group, was active in Christian Women’s Fellowship as well as the Monroe Modern Home Extension, and was a faithful member of Bethel Bible Church. She continued to paint, won County Fair ribbons for her pickles, and loved waving at passersby from the front porch with her dog Joy barking alongside.
