Charlotte H. Freeman, 88, retired marriage therapist
By Bill Price and Grog McCullough
FOR THE INQUIRER
Charlotte Hume Freeman, 88, a retired marriage therapist and daughter of three generations of American teachers and doctors in East Asia, died Saturday at Waverly Heights in Gladwyne.
Born in the mountain village of Kuling, China, she was raised by her parents in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, where her father founded the Yale University medical mission to interior China.
She came to the United States in 1919, at the age of 13, to study at the Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. She was a 1927 graduate of Vassar College, and received advanced training in psychiatric social work.
She met the man who became her first husband, Dr. Norman Freeman, two years after graduating from Vassal. When he finished his surgical training in Boston, they returned to his home town of Philadelphia, where Dr. Freeman was associate professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Freeman worked professionally as a therapist at the Marriage Council of Philadelphia while raising her four children.
After the Second World War, the Freeman family moved to the San Francisco area for 20 years, where Dr. Freeman became a noted vascular surgeon. He died there in 1975.
Mrs. Freeman returned to the Main Line in the mid-1960s and lived in Bryn Mawr for the next 20 years before moving to Waverly Heights. She started a human development program at the Baldwin School to teach students about alcohol, tobacco, drugs and sex.
At Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, she was active in creative writing and theological study groups. She was the author of a 1990 memoir, Reflections of a Childhood in China.
Ten years ago, she married her widowed brother-in-law, William W.K. Freeman, a retired statistician, teacher, and fellow of the U.S. Metric Association.
Besides her husband, she is survived by a son, David Freeman; daughters Nancy Horwitz, Corinne Barnwell and Margery Billings; 12 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
A funeral will be held at 2 p.m. today at the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, 625 Montgomery Ave. Burial will be private, before the funeral. A reception will follow at the home of David Freeman, 817 Loudan Lane in Newtown Square.
Memorial contributions may be sent to the Yale-China Association, Box 9514, New Haven, Conn. 06534.
Arrangements were made by the Huff and Lakjer Funeral Home in Lansdale.
