Mary Christine Freeman

WEATHERSFIELD, VT - 

Mary Christine Freeman, 60, died Monday, February 24 at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, after a brief illness.

Born October 23, 1953, daughter of the late Irene and Chester Freeman, Mary grew up in Ithaca, New York. After graduating from Colorado State University, she spent 3 years as a VISTA volunteer in Wewoka, Oklahoma, where she met her husband, Michael Jenzen. They then moved to Vermont, where she worked in social welfare services for the state until her retirement in May 2013.

Throughout her life, Mary was an avid and skilled craftswoman in a variety of fiber arts. Her family and friends were the lucky beneficiaries of her talents in the form of knitted clothing items, and quilted works of art for table, wall and bed. All were meticulously executed with her remarkable eye for color, pattern and texture.

Mary leaves behind her husband of 32 years; daughter, Leah Jenzen; and son-in-law, Casey Hall; brother, Jerry Freeman, and brothers-in-law Bob, Tom and Jack Jenzen and their spouses, as well as nephews, nieces and great-nieces, and many dear friends.

There will be a service at St. Mary's church in Claremont, NH, on June 7th, Saturday, at 11 a.m. followed by a reception at the St. Mary's gym. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the donor's favorite charity.
