It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Anita "Jae" Frede, on October 5th, 2023, at the age of 75. Jae had a long-fought battle with cancer which she had persevered over the last 14 years.
Jae requested to be honored by family and loved ones in a Celebration of Life to be held on a later date. She will be celebrated for her unwavering strength, uncanny wit, poise, love of animals, all things organized and most of all love of life.
Jae will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
