Susan A. Freece, age 74, of Milwaukie, Oregon, peacefully passed away November 28th, after a five plus year battle with symptoms associated with Corticobasal Degeneration Syndrome. She was surrounded by family and will be greatly missed by all who loved her.

Susan was born July 22, 1948 in Longview, Washington to Wilbur and Lorraine Traglio. Later she and her family moved to Aurora, Oregon where she graduated high school. After graduation she obtained her beautician cosmetology license.

In the fall of 1968, Susan married her beloved husband Robert A. Freece, going on to have three daughters, several kitty cats and a handful of precious pups. In addition to a career as a beautician, she went on to work in a variety of other settings most recently in the accounting field before retiring in 2016. She was incredibly hard working, reliable and always willing to learn new things.

Susan will be remembered by many for her gift of hospitality and artisanship. She was an accomplished seamstress and enjoyed creating one of a kind pieces with her hands.
