Delta S. Freathy, age 100, passed away on 10 December 2012 in Fort Walton Beach, FL, and has been re-united with Albert E. (Jerry) Freathy, her husband of 58 years. She was born in Greenfield, Rankin Co., MS, to Alfred Bethel Stubblefield II and Bessie Mangum Stubblefield, graduated from Women’s College (now William Carey) in Hattiesburg, MS, and taught at Central HS in Jackson until marrying Albert, an officer in the Army Air Corps, in November 1941. They moved frequently, living in Fairborn, OH, Washington DC, Clark AFB, PI, and Biloxi, MS, until his retirement from the Air Force in 1951, when they settled in Clinton, MS.
Delta is survived by her son, Alfred L. Freathy, and his wife, Kay, of Shalimar; a granddaughter, Sharon, and her husband, Jason Segars, of Wetumpka, AL; a grandson, Bradley, and his wife, Tammy, of Lithia, FL; six great-grandchildren; and a sister-in-law, Doris Stubblefield, of Utica, MS. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and her brother, Alfred Bethel Stubblefield III.
A very special thanks go to the staff at Belvedere Commons Assisted Living Facility who provided over 12 years of sincere and loving care for Delta. There have been too many exceptional staff members to thank individually.
