Miriam Reichard Fregin died of natural causes on Saturday, August 25, 2012 at the age of 102 and 4 months. Born in Troy, Miami County, Ohio she was the daughter of the late Irene (Brown) Reichard. Miriam was preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, Edward Julius Fregin in 1982. She was a devoted and loving mother to Fred and Joyce; grandmother to 7 grandchildren and great-grandmother to 11. She was a warm, loving, nurturing human being and, up until the day of her death, was engaged in loving conversation with those who were with her. Her life presented struggles for her over the years but, she never let any of them stop her. She was a true inspiration to everyone that knew her. Miriam leaves a wonderful legacy for her family and will always be remembered in our thoughts. Interment will be at Riverside Cemetery, 101 Riverside Drive in Troy, Ohio. Memorial Contributions, in her name, would be welcomed at your local Hospice or library. Love, Fred & Joyce and their families.
