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.
