Freire’ devoted her entire effort to charitable causes, some of her favorites were St. Jude’s Children’s Charity, the Sunshine Shop of Hitchcock and the Women’s Crisis Center of Galveston County. Her greatest joy was to help and be in service to and for the Lord. Her gifts were from her heart and her voice was straight and to the point accompanied by that smile of hers which always assured you of her love and passion for what was right. She absolutely adored her daughter, Felecia, and her granddaughter, Chloe, who was the star in her eye. She spent countless hours making sure they were prepared mentally and spiritually for the days ahead.
