<div itemprop="description">COATES, FREDA CLARA (nee Schulte)<br />November 22, 1931 &ndash; November 21, 2014<br /><br />On Friday, November 21, we said goodbye to our beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, Freda Coates, who passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully at the Rockyview General Hospital on the eve of her 83rd birthday. Freda is survived by her five children, Mary Lou Hill (Brian), Vernon Coates, Janalee Shutiak (Peter), Grant Coates (Debbie), Gayle Raymond (Rich), 10 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren. Freda was raised in Killam, Alberta, born there on November 22, 1931. She lived in small towns throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan, raising her children in Calgary. She retired to Creston, BC and spent many of those next years travelling throughout North America. Her last 12 years have been spent surrounded by her family in Calgary. Freda was the best cook, baker and seamstress, and she was very well known for her incredible hospitality. She volunteered with multiple organizations, including Chairing for the Arthritis Society in Creston, BC. Freda was a loving Mother and dedicated her life to her family. We will all miss her tremendously. Freda&rsquo;s family would like to thank the Rockyview Hospital Staff on Unit 74, for their overwhelming kindness and compassion. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Freda&rsquo;s memory to the Arthritis Society of Canada. <br />A Celebration of Life will be held at EDEN BROOK FUNERAL HOME (17 Avenue South West and Lower Springbank Road) on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. Tributes will begin at 5:30 P.M. <br /></div>
