She moved to Toronto as a teenager but missed the countryside and her grandparents&#8217; dairy farm. She met David Lloyd\u00a0Howell\u00a0at Royce Presbyterian Church Bible School, and they were married in 1950, settling into the Toronto suburb of Rexdale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On retirement, Lloyd and Freda sold their home and moved to Lakehurst, Ontario, on Pigeon Lake, fulfilling their dream of returning to live in the countryside. Lloyd predeceased her by 32 years. At the age of 83, Freda moved to Muskoka to be closer to her daughter, living first in Bracebridge and, at 90, moving to the Muskoka Landing long-term care home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freda leaves behind her daughter\u00a0, Terri Howell\u00a0 , and son, Ted\u00a0\u00a0Howell, and her son-in-law, Kim deLagran, her granddaughters Heather and\u00a0 Meghan deLagran, Shelbee\u00a0Howell\u00a0, and step granddaughter Angel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was the proud great-grandmother of Anaya, Brecken, Atli, and Fyfe Bowman and Benno delagran. Freda lived a life of love, giving generously of her time to many volunteer organizations, caring for two foster sons over almost 12 years, and keeping in touch with her many nieces and nephews and long-time friends.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death on Sunday, December 7, 2025, of Freda Joan\u00a0Howell\u00a0in her 98th year.
