Frieda Peterson (nee Smith) age 94 of Danville, California passed to her eternal reward peacefully on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at the home of her daughter Carol who loved and cared for her mother in her autumn years.
Frieda was a resident of Wayne from 1963 until 1972 living in the Cardinal Way neighborhood in the Packanack Woods area in Wayne. Great sadness coursed into her life when her loving husband Carl died in 1969 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
While living in Wayne she and her husband were active members of Saint Timothy’s Lutheran Church.
Frieda was a Certified Public Accountant and worked for the Exxon/Mobil Corporation for over thirty years. She was transferred to Houston, Texas in 1972 and continued to work there until her retirement in 1983. She then moved to Tucson, Arizona and proceeded to travel all over the world.
Frieda was an accomplished photographer, seamstress, painter but most of all a wonderful mother and grandmother. When her health started to decline, she moved to California to be near her daughter. She had several Miniature Schnauzers who were her “dog children”.
Frieda is survived by her daughter Carol and her husband Dermit Drohan of Danville, California and two cherished grandchildren Jennifer and Kyle Drohan.
