Lila Barbara Frederickson

Lila Barbara Frederickson Lila Barbara Frederickson, 87, of Perrysburg, Ohio passed away Thursday, January 13th, 2011 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio (Perrysburg). She was the only child of Orson F. and Velma (Ragsdale) Weiser. She was born in Bellingham, Washington on October 10th, 1923. Lila graduated from Lincoln High School in Seattle, Washington, where she was in a quartet called the Stardusters. She attended the University of Washington, where she was crowned Snow Queen her sophomore year. Lila lived a full life with her husband Paul, and due to her husband's profession, lived in such places as Seattle, Cincinnati, Columbus Indiana, and Rossford. The last six years she lived in Perrysburg. Lila loved the outdoors and the four seasons. She enjoyed downhill and cross country skiing and for a time was a member of the Toledo Ski Club. She took up snorkeling, which she enjoyed doing on her world travels. She loved to golf and while her husband was living they were members of Heatherdowns Country Club. Lila and Paul enjoyed golfing, fishing and traveling. Lila continued to golf with friends until about five years ago. Lila adored globetrotting and going on cruises with her dear friend Lotte Nordmann. She was devoted to her children, Craig and Dana, and was always involved in many of their activities. Her son has fond memories of Lila taking him fishing for bluegills at Brown county Indiana State Park. She and her son would always out fish the fathers and sons who couldn't figure out the secret to their success. (Her secret was that she used pieces of Hotdogs as bait instead of worms). Lila relished her trips to visit her daughter Dana and her family in LaCosta California. She loved sunbathing, swimming, walking and building sand castles at the beach with her grandchildren Taylor and Logan. When the tides were out she excelled at beach croquet and bocci ball with a glass of wine in hand…. Lila was always the life of the party and before the evening was over everyone knew and loved her. She loved to dance and was even known to do the hula on a whim. She and Paul, while dancing, would many times have people encircle them while at the Commodore, Hillcrest and Heatherdowns. She had a great sense of humor and loved jokes. She even told a few jokes and yodeled for the family and nurses her last days in MI.C.U at Toledo Hospital. She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul, by her loving parents and her grandson, Jason Hess. She is survived and will be deeply missed by her son, Craig F. (Kristina) Frederickson and daughter, Dana L. (Stephen) Hess, grandchildren, Lindsay N. (Patrick) Christians, Marine Sergeant C. Matthew Frederickson, Taylor M. Hess, Emily E. (Matthew) Johnston and Logan W Hess; and great-grandson Tyler M. Johnston. She is also survived by her dear friend Stanley Tambor. Lila's family would like to thank the Doctors and nurses at The Toledo Hospital, M.I.C.U. and the amazing staff at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, in Perrysburg for their compassion, loving care and devotion to her care during the last chapter of her life.
