Adams, Frieda M. #2 (5 May 1930 - 28 July 2009) 
 

Freida M. Adams, 79, of Chippewa Falls died unexpectedly Tuesday, July 28, 2009, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire. 
 

She was born May 5, 1930, in Eau Claire to Leo and Josephine (Ticer) Greening.  She married Donald E. Adams July 5, 1952, at St. Patrick’s Church in Eau Clare, and they lived in the area all their lives. 
 

Frieda loved life and the world as it was. She enjoyed gardening, both raising flowers and vegetables. She was a very active member of The Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Chippewa Falls, being in the choir as well as volunteering for many projects.  Her love of music was displayed by her participation in the Chippewa Valley Gospel Choir.  She loved going to "sports events" with her grandchildren and the events they were involved in.  She was a member of The Red Hat Society and, oh, how she loved her chocolates and "partying with her neighbors."  In the past, Frieda was an avid bowler, doing mixed doubles with Don.  She was a past president of the Eau Claire PTA and a Cub Scout Den Mother.  She loved "all" children, which was evident by her having numerous "foster children" over the years. 
 

She is survived by three children, Donn (Kim) of Elk Mound, Mark of Eau Claire and Kathy (Larry) of Osseo; 11 grandchildren, Stacy, Sean, Jason, Ariel and Jeremy, Nicole, Larry Jr., Bridget and Stephanie and Cody and Sammy; 17 great grandchildren; sisters, Doris (Bob) Berzinski of Stanley, Ginger Greening of Willard and Pat (Mike) Sixel of Eau Claire; one brother, Michael (Ellen) Artac of Willard; many foster children; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends. 
 

Freida is preceded in death by her parents, Leo Greening and Ludwig and Josephine (Ticer) Artac; and her husband, Donald (1993). 
 

A Mass of Christian Burial took place Friday, July 31, 2009, at 11 a.m. at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Chippewa Falls with Father Arul Joseph officiating.  Visitation was held Thursday, July 30, 2009, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Stokes, Prock and Mundt Funeral Chapel in Altoona and also one hour prior to the service at the church.  A Wake Service was held at 7 p.m. Thursday evening at the funeral home. 
 

Interment in the Mausoleum at Calvary Cemetery followed the service and fellowship.
