Winifred Frey, age 96, of Harrison went to be with her Lord Sunday, February 9, 2014. She was born in Chicago, Illinois February 8, 1918 to Fred and Frances (Anderson) Manning. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband; her sisters: Marie Findley and Ethel Logan; her brother: Frederick Manning; and grandson, Stephen Frey.

In 1939 Winifred married Edward Frey and they lived and raised their family in the Chicago area. After retirement in 1975, they moved to Yellville and later Winifred moved to Harrison in 1983, where she was an active contributor and member at Faith Assembly of God for over 30 years.

Winifred was an accomplished homemaker with skills in sewing, needlework, cooking and baking, especially appreciated by her family of five growing boys. The family enjoyed pleasant vacations of fishing and travels around the United States to see relatives and places of natural beauty. She was proud to have raised her sons to build families and successful careers. She maintained a wide network of friends and extended family members and always made an effort to keep track of the growing number of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Family and friends alike enjoyed her gentle and occasionally wry sense of humor. Winifred loved keeping houseplants and exhibited a knack for growing beautiful African violets. She also enjoyed keeping her backyard birdfeeders filled and watching the many beautiful visitors that came to them. Over the years she provided warm friendship and support to her neighbors and she was blessed to receive the same from them.
