Barb was born May 29, 1932 in Spirit, Wisconsin to Frank and Blanche (Ott) Krombholz. She was married to Alonzo A. Freeman on June 8, 1950. He passed away in 1999. She was an active member of the Spirit Baptist Church. Barb loved reading the bible, going for long walks, and writing poetry. She especially loved family gatherings. Surviving Barbara Freeman are six children, Charles Freeman, Brantwood- Diane Reese, Rhinelander- Frederick (Judy) Freeman, Brantwood- Gloria (John) Jagodinski, Wausau- Helen (Michael) Bacholl, Prentice- and Alonzo “Lonnie” (Tonya) Freeman, Brantwood. Barb is further survived by 15 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her husband and a son, Edward Freeman, 3 sisters, 3 brothers, a grandson Jeremiah, and a great granddaughter Deandra. Much could be said about Barbara’s love of family and hard work as a farm wife raising seven children, her lifelong membership at Spirit Baptist Church, love of art and poetry and long walks in nature; but most noteworthy was her strong faith. Although she had become frail in mind and body, she never doubted her eternal destination. Barb’s heavenly security was not in anything she could ever do, but in Jesus, her Lord and Savior. She had read the Bible – all of it – and she believed it. Jesus paid it all and He’s coming again. The Funeral Service for Barbara Freeman will be held on Tuesday, December 6, 11:00 a.m. at the Spirit Baptist Church. Pastor Duane Harper will officiate.
