Mrs. Mary Frederick

FREDERICK, Mrs. Mary Frances, age 89 of Brentwood, TN, May 4, 2011. Preceded in death by parents, Lovic and Leila James, and husband, M Sgt (Ret) Charles K. Frederick. Survived by twin daughters, Susan (Ernest) Flanagan and Elizabeth (Rick) Carter and grandsons Charles, Richard, William and Sam. Mary was a member of Haymount United Methodist Church in Fayetteville, NC for over 50 years, as well as Circle 6, P.E.O., ABWA, and Morning Glory Garden Club. She graduated at age 20 from Winthrop College and taught home economics for 30 years, impacting countless lives by teaching her students to cook, sew, and be good homemakers. Famous for her fried chicken, caramel cake, and biscuits, she loved to read and collect cookbooks and chickens. She was a proud Army wife for 57 years and had many devoted and close friends. The family would like to thank all of the wonderful caregivers at Brighton Gardens in Brentwood and Mary Smith, her caregiver in Fayetteville, NC, as well as their friends for their countless acts of kindness for their mother. Funeral services will be conducted at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the USO (United Service Organization) PO Box 96322 Washington, DC 20090. A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the gate. Proverbs 31: 10-31. WILLIAMSON MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 615-794-2289. www.williamsonmemorial.com
