Margaret Frances Frey "Gretchen" Frederick of Moyers, Oklahoma passed away
October 1st, 2019 in Hugo, Oklahoma at the age of 96 years. Memorial
services will be held 2PM, Sunday, October 6th, 2019 at the First United
Methodist Church in Antlers with the Rev. Tim Trujillo and Mark Gardner
officiating.
Gretchen was born January 1st, 1923, in Kansas City, Missouri to the late
Richard and Clara (Kreidemann) Frey. She attended Jackson County Public
Schools graduating in 1940 from Ruhl Hartmann High School, and then attended
Kansas City College of Commerce obtaining a Business Certificate. While
working in Kansas City, she met and later married Gordon Frederick of Moyers
on August 13, 1942. During WWII Gordon served in the Army Air Corps, and
Gretchen worked for the Selection Service Board. Later to this union were
born a son and two daughters: Gordon Richard, Gretchen Eileen and Marilyn
Nadine.
Gretchen was a long time faithful member of the First United Methodist
Church in Antlers. In addition to being a dedicated homemaker, she served as
Food Stamp Agent for the County, was employed at the OSU Extension Service
as a Food and Nutrition Aide, and later as a 4-H Assistant-Secretary
Receptionist. She was responsible for obtaining easements for the
Rattan-Moyers Rural Water District, and served as secretary of the Moyers
Fire Department for seventeen years.
In her spare time she loved working in her garden, reading, writing, and all
elements of Extension Homemakers. She particularly enjoyed county fair time.
Perhaps she is best remembered for the thoughtful and well written Moyers-Kosoma
news columns for the Antlers American.
Gretchen was preceded in death by her parents; daughter Marilyn Nadine;
husband of 61 years, Gordon Frederick; and her two brothers, Albert (Hap)
and Richard Frey.
She is survived by her son, Gordon Richard of Moyers; daughter, Gretchen
Eileen and husband Wendell of Bedford, Texas; grandson, Justin Wade Thomas
and wife Lori Beth of Hurst, Texas; loving caregiver, Delilah Hobbs, several
nieces and nephews and a host of devoted friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made to Antlers First
Methodist Church Memorial Fund or charity of your choice.
