Fred was ordained a deacon on March 3, 1946, and was a charter member of East Pineville Missionary Baptist Church.
He was a proud WWII Veteran, having entered service in 1942 with the US Army, serving as a Combat Engineer through Africa, Tunisia, Morocco, and Italy, where he earned a Bronze Star.
Upon returning from the war, he married his high school sweetheart, Margie Wilder and joined his family’s painting business. After his retirement from painting, he enjoyed serving as a docent at the Bell County Historical Museum.
His life’s joy was serving the Lord. If you met him, you didn’t need to ask if he was a Christian. You knew it. He loved to tell stories to anyone who listened and was never at a loss of words on any occasion. He never refused dessert.

Great Grandchildren Lawson, Anna and Ava Woods, brothers-in-law, James Wilder and Paul Wilder, sisters-in- law, Doris Wilder and Pauline Wilder, many nieces, nephews and a loving church family.
