Freda Green

Freda Louise Pennell Green, 87, passed away March 29th, 2013.
She was born November 13, 1925 in Lexington, Kentucky to Ray and Amelia Crombie Pennell. She moved to Louisville as a child.
During W.W.II she worked at Curtis Wright Aircraft putting bolts into aircraft wings due to her petite size. She also volunteered at the U.S.O. Club where she met a Canadian soldier (Eddie) helping train American soldiers at Fort Knox. After he shipped off to Belgium they continued to communicate and were married March 30, 1945. She followed him to Canada where two of her children were born. Disliking the Canadian winters, they moved back to Louisville in 1949 and moved to the South End of Louisville. Over the years she volunteered with The American Red Cross and Sts. Mary and Elizabeth Hospital.
She joins her husband of over 50 years (James Edward) and her eldest son (Doug) who passed away in October, 2012. She is survived by her daughter Marilyn Whitworth with whom she lived, sons Frank (Debbie) and Glen, daughter-in- law, Jeri Green, grandchildren Scott and Melissa Whitworth, Audra and Erin Green, Dawn Barnett (Chris) and great-grandchildren Max and Holland Barnett.
The family suggests donations to American Diabetes Association, 161 St. Matthews Ave., Suite 3, Louisville, KY 40207.
