It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Freada Nell Doepel, who left this world on March 13, 2025, at the age of 89. She was born in Monroe, Arkansas on July 13, 1935, to her loving parents Tom and Addie Fisher. Freada received education at Moro Public Schools and graduated in 1952.

She enjoyed a fulfilling career at the Monroe County Child Development Center, where she was a dedicated and valued employee for 15 years. With a caring nature Freada also sat with many in their homes to help with their daily needs and for some just to be a much needed friend. In quieter times she enjoyed reading and was a skilled seamstress.

Freada enjoyed fellowship as a member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Rich where she found solace in her faith. Her unwavering belief guided her throughout life and served as a source of strength and comfort.

As a loving mother who lived a long and fulfilling life, Freada will be remembered not only for her kindness that touched the hearts of many, but for her compassionate spirit, and strength.

Freada was preceded in death by her parents, Tom and Addie Boggs Fisher, spouse Emil Doepel, brothers Glenn, Norris, Tom, Julis, and Gearld,  sisters, Laveada and Ruth, son, Dwight Hamilton, son-in-law, Carl Burrow, granddaughters, Jillian Elmore and Sonja Chudy and grandson in law Anthony Chudy.
