The daughter of Christian John Geiger and Katherine Margaret Schneider.
Married to Aldon Elmore Brummett.

Aldon had this on a chalkboard after Freda died:
"A Parable of Immortality" by Henry Van Dyke
"I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There she goes."
"Gone where ? Gone from my sight - that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her diminished
size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, " There she goes" there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes."

Freda's family was extremely poor as she was growing up, but she never let that hold her back from anything. She married Aldon and started a family raising two bratty kids. She gave them all the love and affection that she had in her. The best mom in the world. Freda loved her red boots and songs by Marty Robbins. She went to sleep and didn't wake up.
