Lucretia Mae Freeland

Evans, GA - Lucretia Mae Freeland passed peacefully Friday, December 4, 2015. She was deeply devoted to her church of 61 years and her large loving family. She will be remembered as the true southern woman she was. One would never have to guess what she was thinking, was very involved in the local gardening club, and never met a baby that didn’t love her back. Mrs. Freeland committed her 101 years to serving the Lord and made a career as a mother of four children throughout WWII and after.

Visitation will take place from 6:00PM until 8:00PM on Sunday, December 6, 2015 at Platt’s Funeral Home, 337 N Belair Rd, Evans, GA 30809. A Celebration of her Life Service will be held at at 11:00AM on Monday, December 7, 2015, at St. Mark United Methodist Church, 2367 Washington Rd, Augusta, GA 30904 with the Reverend David Gravitt officiating. A graveside service at Westover Cemetery will follow the service.

Mrs. Freeland was born July 31, 1914 in Mobile, AL to the late Harry and Alice Newell. Mrs. Freeland is preceded in death by her husband and love of her life, James Frank Freeland. She is survived by her four children Jimmy Freeland, Elon Willing, Alan Freeland, Carol Hearn, twelve grandchildren, eighteen great grandchildren, and four great great grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to St. Mark Methodist Church for the memorial fund in loving memory of Lucretia Mae Freeland. The donations will help fund the construction of a much needed handicap ramp.
