Family Matters

Family was always very important to Frieda. She adored her father and admired him for how hard he worked, despite the fact that he only had one hand. (He lost one of his hands in an accident.) In the picture on the left, which was taken on July 7, 1946, Frieda (pictured with the scarf) is seen enjoying an afternoon of fun in the sun with her father, Fred, her two brothers, Fred, Jr. and Sam, and her sisters Catherine and Eleanora.


In the photograph above, taken on May 31, 1948, Frieda was only sixteen years old. Here she is pictured with her sisters: Myra, Catherine, and Eleanora, and with Cat's first husband, Leroy.


The photo on the left was taken on Thursday, November 25, 1948, Thanksgiving Day. Here Frieda, having turned seventeen only twelve days before, is pictured with two of her beloved pets. Little did she know that she would become a bride in less than a year.









The photo on the right was taken the same day. here Frieda is pictured with her sister, Catherine Anne Ullrich Moyers (18 years old) and Catherine's six month old daughter Rebecca Lyn Moyers.




After Frieda was married, she oftentimes took her children back to Ohio to visit her family. In this picture (left) which was taken on one such trip in 1956, she is pictured with her parents, Anna and Fred Ullrich, and her children, Patrick, Michael, Dianna, and Deborah.


In 1961, Frieda would again visit her family. In the photo above, she is pictured with her brother Sam, sister Cat, her mother Anna, and her father, Fred, who died only a year after this photo was taken.
