Beatrice Froehlich, 85, formerly of McClusky, ND died peacefully at her RiverPointe of Moorhead home on Friday, February 12, 2016 after a brief illness.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, February 17 at Grace Lutheran Church, McClusky with visitation one hour prior to the service at the church.
Interment will be held in the spring in McClusky City Cemetery.
Bea was born on October 5, 1930 in McClusky, ND. She was the daughter of August and Amelia (Stroh) Neff. She graduated from the McClusky High School.
Bea married Donald C. Froehlich on October 3, 1948 in McClusky. They lived in McClusky where she was a stay at home mom for their seven children. Bea started working for her husband as a bookkeeper at Froehlich Ford in McClusky for a number of years before retiring. Don died on April 3, 1989.
She continued to reside in McClusky tending to her beautiful yard and flower gardens. She moved to the Fargo area where she most recently lived in the RiverPointe of Moorhead apartments. Her new friends at RiverPointe nicknamed her "Sweet Bea". They appreciated her cheerfulness, kindness and graciousness.
Bea's sewing skills were essential for her young and growing family. Bea made school clothes, special dresses for the girls and much of her own clothing. Her sewing turned into a hobby which included very creative sewing and knitting designs; baby blankets; buntings; and christening gowns for her grandchildren. She shared special bonds with each grandchild and great grandchild which continued to be built until the day of her passing.
She enjoyed coffee and visiting with friends, playing bingo, shaking dice and health foods such as: potato chips, candy and bacon.
Bea's life was also saddened by the passing of her husband, Don and their sons, Barry and David. She was also preceded in death by her parents; sister, Ilene and brother Larry.
Bea is survived by her children; Diane (Terry) Grenz of Mesa, AZ; Barbara(Freddie) Brackett of Detroit Lakes, MN, Doug (Linda)Froehlich of Fargo; Bonnie (Mark) Johnson of Dolores, CO, Deb Eicher of Fargo; 9 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; brother, Clinton (Mary) Neff of McClusky.
