She was the eleventh child born to Hattie and Lloyd Schaeffer. Ramona attended elementary school in Stanchfield and graduated from Braham High School, Class of 1948. She participated in speech, music and journalism in high school winning many awards. She loved youth group and singing in the choir. After high school, she and friend Amaryllis Peterson went to Minneapolis to look for jobs. They both got hired at the first place they applied, Pillsbury Mills. She started at the lowest job there, the mail room, and quickly realized she needed more training. She began taking night classes in office machines and then in accounting so she could advance her position. She married Vernon R. Fredin on September 2, 1950. They lived in Minneapolis and then in Alabama while Vernon served in the Army during the Korean War. They returned to Minneapolis and in 1957 they bought their first home and moved to Fridley, MN. Their family grew to include Jackie, Louise, Tim and Todd. They moved to Prior Lake, MN. In 1966. The family joined Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church and she became active in choir and Sunday school there. She went to work for Lund's Food Holdings in 1968 and retired from there in 1996. Vernon died in 1996 and she stayed on at their home enjoying gardening and family gatherings at home and at the cabin. She transferred to Friendship Baptist Church and enjoyed volunteering, working in the office, in the kitchen, on mission committees, and the church garage sale. She loved hosting Senior groups and small group bible studies in her home. In 2017 she sold her house and moved to a town house in Savage, MN. In 2021 she sold the town house and moved to Havenwood a senior building in Burnsville. Her greatest joy has been in watching her family grow and seeing the grandchildren and the great grandchildren develop into wonderful individuals. A fervent prayer is that all come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Peace be to her memory. www.Washburn-McReavy.com Werness Brothers 952-884-8145
