Freida McFadden FORT STOCKTON — Freida Holyce Hardy McFadden was born to Harrison DeCalbe Hardy and Ethel Moegelin Hardy in Abilene, Texas on March 11, 1926. Her family moved shortly afterwards to Pecos, Texas where she attended public schools and graduated from Pecos High School. She met Henry Wayne McFadden when he was visiting his parents, I.M. and Velma McFadden, in Pecos while on military leave from his wartime duties in the Army Air Corps. They were married in Fresno, California, on May 24, 1944, and returned to Pecos after the war to start their family by having sons, Wayne Jr. and Bruce, and raising an orphaned niece, Carroll. Wayne and Freida remained united in marriage until his death on Christmas morning 1995. Freida was a giver and volunteer. She was wholly immersed civically in Fort Stockton after moving there in 1956. She was a 50+ year member of the Order of Eastern Star, Ladies Oriental Shrine, lifetime member of Beta Sigma Phi, volunteer for the Boy and Girl Scouts, Little League, Director of Vocational Office Education, Bandaiders, Parent-Teachers Association, President of the Legal Secretaries Association, Women’s division of the chamber of commerce, chairperson of the annual Miss Fort Stockton beauty contest and participant in the 1959 Fort Stockton Centennial and later, the Sesquicentennial. She raised funds for every worthwhile cause in the area including the American Cancer and Heart Associations. She was recognized as a recipient of the Award of Excellence and Legal Secretary of the year in 1965 and 1974. She was named as a Personality of the South on 3 separate occasions. Freida was an entrepreneur and a very well read person. She began her career by working as the assistant to the president of Security State Bank in Pecos. When she and Wayne moved to Fort Stockton, she went to work at Ellyson Abstract and Title Company. It was during this time that she pioneered and introduced the concept of title insurance to Pecos and Brewster Counties. There is very little land in Texas’ two largest counties, Pecos and Brewster, that she did not abstract or write title insurance commitments on during her 45-year career. Eventually, Freida acquired ownership of the company and one of her greatest pleasures was providing worthwhile careers in the abstracting business for many young women in the community. During the swings of business cycles in the oil and farming industries, she was able to keep many of these young women, wives and mothers employed and earning a paycheck, oftentimes without paying herself. Many of these women moved on to other careers in the school and city/county offices across Texas. While she owned it, Ellyson Abstract was a training ground for abstractors. It was said often by various people in the industry, “if Freida trained you, you were employable anywhere because you knew the industry inside and out.” Freida most importantly was a Christian. She was born into the Baptist Church and was a 45-year member of the First Christian Church where she served along with the likes of Maud S. Saenger and Mrs. H.H. Rollins and many other pioneer women of the area as a Deaconess and President of Women of the Church and Christian Women’s Fellowship. She was a daughter, sister, wife and mother of extraordinary proportions who loved helping family, friends and strangers. She was the “go to person” whenever there was a hurt or a need. Often, during bad economic times, she bought cakes, pies and various sundries from women whose husbands had lost their incomes. A favorite saying of hers was “you pay for your space on this earth by the service you render to others.” She was of great service to many people. After years of suffering hardships due to her failing health, she was reunited on Saturday, July 19, 2003 with her son, Wayne, Jr. who was killed in an auto accident, and the love of her life Wayne, Sr., her parents and 7 siblings and friends, many of whom passed away very recently. Her son Bruce and daughter in law Becky, grandsons Blake, Brady and David and great granddaughter Cierra McFadden survive her. To A.D. Jackson who officiated her service and her friends who stuck with her during the hard times, may the Lord Bless You for your good deeds. Burial was next to her husband and son at East Hill cemetery in Fort Stockton, Texas. Pallbearers were Judge Joe Shuster, Tom Hardy, Allan Turner, Bake Turner, Billy Fichte, Tommy Turman; with honorary pallbearers being Martin Shuster and Michael Hardy.
