NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas ­— Freda Wilhelmina (Schultz) Wasia passed away Sept. 9, 2021, six days after her 98th birthday.

Freda was born Sept. 3, 1923, at Danbury, Neb., to parents, Cleyone M. and Rudolph J. Schultz. She attended high school at Danbury, excelling in women’s softball.

Freda married Kenneth Wasia on Oct. 15, 1942. They farmed south of McCook, Neb., from 1946 until they built a home in Indianola, Neb., in 1980. They continued farming north of Danbury until retiring in 1989.

In 2004, they moved to Torrington, Wyo., where Kenneth passed away in 2008.

While in Torrington, Freda enjoyed hosting grandchildren and great-grandchildren from Montanna and Wyoming for backyard get-togethers.

Always the baseball fan, Freda literally stormed her way into Casper, Wyo., to watch tournament action with family.

Freda moved to Texas in 2010 where daughter, Colleen, and son, Vince, resided.

Her 90th birthday bash was a huge family affair at Vince and Kay’s Idaho mountain home.

She delighted in keeping in touch with family, traveling for graduations and birthdays.

Freda was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Kenneth; two brothers and four sisters.

She is survived by her children, Vince (Kay) of Oklahoma; Gene (Cathy) of Montana; Colleen Fuentes (Mando) of Texas; Bruce (Vicky) of Nebraska; five grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.

Grandson Chris said it best, “She was a force of nature!”

She was loved.

Cremation has taken place. A family memorial will be held at a later date.
