In loving memory of Lois Ann Schuster Freundlich

To my sweet Nana, you are always in our hearts

Lois Ann Schuster Freundlich, beloved wife of Edward Freundlich for 60 years, passed away peacefully on Oct. 10, 2009. Born Dec. 9, 1929 in Chicago, she was a wonderful, compassionate, sweet, loving person. She married Edward on Dec. 3, 1949 and devoted her life to family whom she loved so very much and for whom she gave endless hugs and kisses. We will always remember her smiles, warmth and generous heart, her love of cooking, every holiday, parties with dear friends and anything joyous. Her home was open to all and always a place of much love and happiness. In addition to her husband, Edward Freundlich, she leaves behind her son, Edward Freundlich, Jr. and his wife, Susan and their children, Evan and Sara; her son, Andrew Freundlich and his wife, Carrie and their children, Amy, her husband, Adam Gregor, Melissa and Scott; and her daughter, Susan Zimmerman, her husband, Richard, their children, Katie and Bill. She also leaves behind her dear brother Jerry Schuster, dear sister-in-law Mary Lou Schuster, and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and many friends that she spent so many wonderful years with.

On October 10th, 2009, we lost our loving Nana to Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is a progressive and fatal disease which destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behavior, severe enough to affect daily life activities. Today Alzheimer's is the seventh-leading cause of death in today's society. It was a long several years of watching our Nana lose her memory. Deep down she still had memory of her husband, our amazing Papa. The love they shared was an unconditional fairy tale love that every person is looking for in their life. They are lucky to have each other, and are an inspiration for those in love, looking for love, or waiting for love. I admire them both, the commitment to their children, grandchildren, and each other. We know Nana is in a safe place, much happier place, and is missed by all her children and grandchildren every day.
