Agnes L. Freese

August 27, 1931 - October 21, 2019

Agnes Lorraine Freese passed away peacefully on Monday, October 21, 2019, at the Western Home Communities Elizabeth E. Martin Health Center in Cedar Falls. After 32 years following the death of “the Love of her life”, she will be reunited with LeRoy.

Agnes was born at Sartori Hospital in Cedar Falls on August 27th, 1931, the daughter of Chris and Hilda Christensen. LeRoy and Agnes were “third” grandparents to many of their friends and neighbors’ children. Agnes was a wonderful person, good to everyone and will be sincerely missed by all who knew her.

On November 12, 1956, she was united in marriage to LeRoy Freese at the Fredsville Lutheran Church. LeRoy passed away 32 years ago. They resided in Cedar Falls, Iowa for the duration of their married life. Agnes worked at Viking Pump for 14-1/2 years, followed by 14 years of driving cars for Avis Car Rental.

Agnes was preceded in death by her husband, LeRoy Freese, and her parents, Chris and Hilda Christensen, as well as her favorite little furry friend, “Sadie”, for whom she provided daycare for a few years and loved it. They had a mutual admiration for each other. At her request, Sadie’s ashes are now forever with her.

She is survived by several nieces and nephews, as well as many friends, who dearly loved her, and many four legged friends who thought she was the “greatest”. Agnes loved Oreo, one of her furry friends, who came to visit her at the nursing home on a very regular basis.

Services will be held 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 24th at Fredsville Lutheran Church, rural Cedar Falls, with burial in the church cemetery. Visitation for one hour prior to the service at the church.

Memorials may be directed to Fredsville Lutheran Church or the Cedar Bend Humane Society.
