Freda was raised in the Lone Star Community in Coweta. OK.  She attended Lone Star School and Coweta Public Schools where she graduated in 1953.  Following graduation Freda helped on her parent’s farm for a year before attending Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK with her sister Mildred.  After one year of college Freda moved to Tulsa, OK with her sister Peggy where she eventually was employed with Public Service Company of Oklahoma in the home service department.  It was at PSO that Freda met the love of her life, she married Jasper Luther (Junior) Krumsiek Jr on November 7, 1959 in her parent’s home in Coweta.

Freda and Junior lived in Tulsa for 8 years, during that time all four of their children were born.  After moving back to Coweta in 1967, Freda spent her days being a mother and wife.  She was an avid gardener and spent much of the summer canning and preserving the food she grew.  She raised broiler chickens and laying hens.  Freda spent many years being the 4-H leader in Coweta.  For several decades she was a member of the Shahan Homemaker’s club (FCE) where she held many offices and helped with the Wagoner County Fair each year.  In 1981 she started working for the new Walmart store in Coweta where she was employed for 17 years and held many different positions.  Freda enjoyed gardening, bird watching, knitting, crocheting, sewing, flowers and all types of puzzles.

Over the years Freda had many interests and a few part-time jobs, including switch board operator and encyclopedia salesman, but her all-time favorite job was being a grandmother.  Grandma Freda loved spending time with her grandkids and great-grandkids.  She taught some of them to sew and crochet and went to countless stock shows, fairs, ball games, 4-H and FFA events and banquets.  If their grandkids were in it, Grandma and Grandpa were there.
