Annette Freed's Obituary
Freed, Annette, mother of Kenneth and Gary, passed away on January 15, 2013. Born to Abraham and Jennie Woler on October 30, 1924 in Detroit, MI, Annette made her home in Tucson since 1964. Prior to moving to Tucson, she lived in Long Island, with her husband, Gerald, and their two sons. She worked as a knitting instructress, volunteered for ORT and enjoyed playing Mah Jong. In Tucson, she managed Cele Peterson's, owned the Monterey Beauty Salon, and enjoyed playing Mah Jong, Pan and a variety of other card games. As she was friendly, clever and outgoing, she made many friends. Amongst them was Martin Schwartz, with whom she spent many happy hours. Her greatest joy was her family. She will be greatly missed by Ken and Gary and their wives Marilyn and Felice, all of whom loved her and tended to her care. She cherished her grandchildren, Shannon (Gavin) Weidman, Jason (Emily), Kyle (Niki), Eric (Lindsey) and Lauren Freed. She felt blessed to get to meet and know her great grandchildren, Samantha, Sean, Lily, and Hannah, who all called her "GG" for great grandma. There will be a graveside service in the Knights of Pythias section of Evergreen Cemetery, presided by Rabbi Thomas Louchheim, at 4:00 PM Friday January 18, 2013. Arrangements by EVERGREEN MORTUARY, N. Oracle & W. Miracle Mile.
