West Columbia, TX Tuesday, December 23, 2025 I met Freda when she and Doug were selling furniture with my Dad, Derl Morrison and wife Brenda back several years ago. She was always such cheerful person and always had a smile on her face. She and I kept in contact through Facebook over the past years after they all quit selling furniture. She was always such a compassionate person when I needed someone to listen, when I needed someone to lean on and when I just needed a pick me up. When my family lost Brenda, a wonderful friend to Freda and Doug she reached out, to me immediately to find out if there was anything I or my family needed anything. even though she herself was hurting with her loss too. Freda was always such a true treasure to me, and I will forever miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family throughout this sad time. Rest in Peace Sweet Freda.Carol Diamond
