Frieda was born Nov. 9, 1908, in New Salem, the daughter of Max and Martha (Kling) Hoherz. She was one of six children in the family and was raised on the farm North of New Salem. Frieda married Charles Engelter Jan. 17, 1929, on the Hoherz farm.

Frieda enjoyed fishing, gardening and preparing her family's favorite German pastries. Also special to her were old-time music and dancing. Winters were devoted to quilting, knitting and crocheting items for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Grateful for having shared in her life are her children, Robert (Naomi) Engelter, New Salem, Betty (Norbert) Hoesel, New Salem, Lester Engelter, Sheridan, Wyo., and Gloria Kitzmann, New Salem; six grandchildren, Joana (Duane) Friesz and Lee (Margi) Engelter, all of New Salem, Les (Jodi) Hoesel, Mandan, Lynn (Melodie) Hoesel, New Salem, Brad (Leaha) Kitzmann, Leeds, and Brian Kitzmann, Sheridan, Wyo.; and nine great-grandchildren, Taylor and Thomas Friesz, Jacob and Raymond Engelter, Austin, Hope and Megan Hoesel, and Clay and Keira Kitzmann. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
