sissonFreda L. Sisson, 94, Logansport, passed away at 3:15 a.m. Friday, May 27, 2016, in Chase Center.

Born November 1, 1921, in Clay Township, Cass County, she was the daughter of the late Homer Cecil and Ethel Marie (Louthain) Angle.

On May 9, 1943, in Logansport, she was married to James Marion Sisson. He preceded her in death March 17, 2000.

A 1939 graduate of Twelve Mile High School, Freda went on to work at the Cass County Farm Bureau as assistant manager. From 1957-1985, she served as chief of accounts and finance at the Grissom Air Force Base. From 1982-1988, she was the fiscal manager of Area V.

A member of the New Life Alliance Church, Freda enjoyed the fellowship of the church women’s group. She had belonged to the former Bethel Methodist Church while her children were young.  Freda was also active at the Area V Senior Citizens Center, where she made many friends over the years. She was an avid bowler and was proud to win a silver medal at the Senior Olympics.

Freda loved sports. She was a big fan and supporter of both Larry Bird and Bobby Knight and corresponded with them. She also met Ted Williams, who autographed a photo for her. She was the biggest fan, though, of her children and grandchildren and loved following their activities.

Surviving are four daughters and sons-in-law: Patti and Ronald Smith of Logansport, Peggy and Michael Rees of Warsaw, Connie and Bob Peattie of Logansport and Brenda and Dan Reutebuch of Walton; four grandchildren: Chad Hassett, Joshua & Crista Hassett, Jacob Peattie and Julia Peattie; one great-granddaughter Emily Hassett; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by three brothers: Arthur Eugene “Gene” Angle, Richard Keith Angle and Melvin Victor Angle; and one sister Pheriba Irene Angle.

Visitation hours will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1, with a funeral service celebrating the life of Freda Sisson  immediately following at 7 p.m. in Fisher Funeral Chapel.  Pastor Scott Halterman will officiate.

Cremation will be entrusted to Fisher Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services with burial of cremains, at a later date,  in Bethel Cemetery.
