Freda will be remembered for her Christian faith, kindness, smile, beautiful blue eyes, style, charisma and her ability to make friends quickly. Freda never met a stranger and had the ability to take any wardrobe and make it a total high fashion statement. She had lived in many places from Florida to California and made lifelong friends. To know her was to love her. She loved fishing with her brother, Bobby, entertaining, decorating, shopping, spending time with family and traveling. She loved life and made every moment with friends and family fun and enjoyable. She loved creating memories wherever she went and with every person she was around. She was always there for family and friends in need, always offering to help and do whatever she could.

Freda was devoted to her Christian faith. Growing up she was raised in the Church of Christ in Plainview. Arkansas, but in her later life she became a member of the Victory Baptist Church. She enjoyed going to church and when she couldn’t attend in person, she attended virtually.

Freda is predeceased by her parents, sister, Doris Jean Kniffin (Clarence), sister Patricia Ann Sonnier (Pat), nephew, Chuck Holland, nephew, Todd Daniels and her beloved cousin, Danny Holland.

Cremation arrangements are made by Cornwell Funeral Home, Dardanelle, AR.
