Mildred Ilona Fredella

Mildred Ilona Fredella (neé Skibo), also known as Millie or Mil, quietly passed away from this earth, surrounded by her loving family, on April 23, 2014, while residing at Morningside Terrace Board & Care in Torrance, CA. She has left this earth, only to be reunited with her beloved husband of 43 years, Francis A. (Frank) Fredella, who pre-deceased her in February 1994. "They are dancing together in the heavens now". She is survived by her three daughters and (sons-in-law): Frances (Fran) Fredella (Scott Rubin), Joan Fredella Robertson (Scott Robertson), and Ilona Winkler (Mark Winkler); and two grandsons: Gregory and Eric Winkler. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Mildred was born in PA, but grew up in New York City. She met her husband under an umbrella at a bus stop! They raised their family in the Bronx and in Westchester County, New York, before moving as a family to Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, in July 1972. Mildred loved sharing the gardening with her husband Frank. Her other hobbies included knitting, needlepoint, and other artistic things, as well as being a fantastic cook! Mostly she was a loving and wonderful wife, mother & "Nana".

She was a strong woman, as she battled with Alzheimer's Disease over the last 7-8 years; overcoming many setbacks and complications along the way. She charmed everyone with her laughter and smiles!

The family wishes to thank the many warm & wonderful caregivers that shared in her life with great care. Also they wish to thank the owner and staff at Bayside Hospice for their wonderful care over the last 16 months, and up to the very end.

Chapel services, followed by graveside services, will be Monday April 28, 2014, beginning at 11:00 am, at Green Hills Memorial Park, 27501 S. Western Ave., Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275.
