Grand Junction Daily Sentinel page 6 B Obituary - October 17, 2015

Freada Weil
June 24, 1925 - October 7, 2015
Freada Margaret (Anderson) Weil passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 7, 2015.
She was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 24, 1925, along with her twin brother, Fred, to John George and Ruth Rosanna (Barron) Anderson. Freada and Fred were the last of seven children, four boys and three girls. They were Wilford "Dandy",
Inola, Buster, Georgia "Buddie", Dallas, Fred and Freada. When Freada was just two weeks old the family moved to Delhi in southwest Oklahoma. They went to pick cotton that fall and stayed on. In the summer they chopped the cotton, and in the fall they picked or pulled it. Those years picking cotton would remain with Freada throughout her life.
Freada attended school in Delhi, Fox and Plainview where she
enjoyed sports, particularly basketball. After Freada graduated
from high school in 1943, she went to live with her sister,
Buddie, in Oklahoma City and worked at Douglas Aircraft Co.
in support of the war effort. She put tar around the rivets on
aircraft. She later attended classes at Oklahoma University. It
was there that she met Stanley Barney Weil. They married on
April 13, 1946. Stanley was a chemical engineer and his work in oil refineries took them to different states. They lived in
Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Mississippi, California and
eventually Colorado where they remained. They had three
children, Cyndi (b. 1947), Lisa (b. 1952), and David (b. 1956).
Freada enjoyed playing bridge, bluegrass and folk music,
traveling, wildflowers, OU football, needlework and quilting.
She bestowed upon her children and grandchildren beautiful
handmade work. She was a veracious reader and was a life long learner in the true sense of the word. She loved animals and would rescue more than one stray cat in her later years. Later in life Freada and Stanley spent summers traveling with their children and grandchildren in the motor home visiting national parks and after retirement they spent winters in the south. They also spent many years attending the Church of God in the various communities they lived in.
While not a life without some regret, she lived her life with
grace and dignity, and was known for her generosity. You could not leave her home without her giving you something, rather it be a baggie of quarters, a crisp $20 from the cookbook, or food for the trip home.
Freada was preceded in death by her husband; parents, and
siblings. She is survived by her three children, Cynthia "Cyndi"
Leinberger of Colorado; Lisa (Jim) Stark of Oklahoma, and
David (Leona) Weil of Montana; her four grandchildren, Dianna
Leinberger (Jeremy) Douse of Alaska; Luke Leinberger of
Colorado; Michael Mckay and Sarah (Darron) Rich all of
Oklahoma; her five great-grandchildren, Kailee and Cody
Mckay of Arkansas; Hannah and Eli Rich of Oklahoma; Kaitlyn
Douse of Alaska; and her beloved kitty, Oreo. While we were
willing to let her go, she is forever with us.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, October 19 at
11:00 a.m. at Mesa View Retirement Center in Grand Junction.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to any
Mesa County animal rescue fund, including Roice-Hurst
Humane Society, P.O. Box 4040, Grand Junction, CO 81502, or CLAWS, 2214 Sanford Drive, No. A5, Grand Junction, CO
81505.
Friends and family will gather on Sunday, October 18 at 1:30
p.m. to place Freada’s ashes in a grave next to Stanley’s under a shared headstone at Clover Cemetery in Collbran, CO. While not in the open plains of Oklahoma, a place that continued to be home in her heart, the view from the cemetery looks over a green valley of the west and there will be wildflowers.
