Fredia’s funeral service will be held Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at Franklin Memory Gardens. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the family will meet for a graveside at 11:00 a.m. at Franklin Memory Gardens with Brother Kenny Windsor officiating. We are asking that any family friends, co-workers, or anyone else that would like to attend please feel free to come and stay in your vehicle at the cemetery.
As soon as the service is over, we would like everyone to have a chance to circle through the cemetery driveway in their cars to allow them to pay their respects to our beloved Fredia and to sign the register book. We hate that this is the way we have to do this, but we have no choice at this time. We welcome any and all that would like to come and wait until we can do the drive-through. We will greatly appreciate your support during this time. We love you all.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Chenyi and staff, Kindred Home Health, Comfort Care Hospice, and Brother Kenny Windsor.
Akins Funeral Home is assisting the family.
