Freda Holdgate

It is with deep regret that we announce the peaceful passing of Freda at the Carlingview Manor on January 15 ^th , 2018. Freda was predeceased by her husband James. Survived by her sister-in-law Janette from British Columbia, nieces Judith and Paula from New Mexico, niece Christine and nephew Martin from England. Freda came to Canada as a war bride in 1946 and spent many years working with the Canada Red Cross Corps, rising to the office of the National Chairman of the Corps. She also spent many years driving arthritic patients to clinics and running the flower shop at the Civic Hospital. At Freda's request, there will be a small private funeral service with interment to follow. Donations to the Canadian Red Cross in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.
