of Williamsburg, Michigan, Roslyn Ann Freed (Grandma Rose), age 92, passed away July 25, 2024, surrounded with love at her daughter’s home, where she resided. Roslyn was a caring wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who loved her family and had a great sense of humor.

She loved getting her hands in the dirt and spent years cultivating beautiful perennial gardens at her home. She enjoyed thrifting, listening to music, hunting for rocks on Lake Michigan beaches, repairing and restoring vintage clocks and furniture with her late husband, spending time at their Manistee house, playing games with her grandkids, doing crosswords and reading the funny papers.
Roslyn was preceded in death by her husband, Plymouth L Freed, her parents, and her son, William Drummond. She is survived by her son, Walter Drummond (Dianna); her daughter, Dawn Shields (Rob), 5 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.
