BERRY, Freda Mae

Freda Mae (Shook) Berry at the age of 99 years, passed away peacefully at The Wedgewood Retirement Residence in Brockville, on Monday, April 8, 2024, surrounded by her children.

Beloved wife of the late David Lyle Berry (1920-2010) and cherished mother of Dwaine Berry (Pat), Linda MacDonald (John) and Sharon Beery (Edgar). Loving grandmother to Evan and Erin Berry, Kathryn, Laura and Anna MacDonald, Tara and Shannon Kittle and Brittany and Casey Beery. Great grandmother to Scott, Chad, Jenna, Leif and Daisy Berry, Noah Kittle, Galen Kittle-McAuliffe, Olivia and Myles Duckett, and Ava Freda Joy Doran.

Freda was born in Seeley’s Bay, Ontario. She met David in Kingston where he was serving with the Canadian Army. After marriage to David in 1945 they moved to South Mountain. Together they built and ran a successful poultry business and raised their three children. Upon retirement they moved to Iroquois, then Morrisburg, before relocating to The Wedgewood in 2009.

Freda and David, married 65 years, loved to travel and touched every continent and dozens of countries. No less than 97 albums of photographs and memorabilia document their experiences, and she enjoyed sharing her adventures with her children and grandchildren.

In compliance with her wishes, a private family service will be held at a future date, with internment at South Mountain Union Cemetery.
