Harold Fredrickson Obituary
Rev. Harold Arthur Fredrickson, 91, died on Sunday, August 6, 2017, eight hours before his 92nd birthday. He passed peacefully into the loving arms of his Savior in his own bed at the Plum City Care Center in Plum City, Wisconsin. Harold's ancestors immigrated to Pepin County in the late 1800's from Sweden. Harold grew up on the family farm near Arkansas with his parents, Arthur and Hulda Fredrickson and his two sisters, LaRayne and Eleanor. He left farming to pursue his calling to the ministry and attended Trinity Seminary and Bible College in Chicago. Following his graduation, he went to Hazard, Kentucky, to help with a home mission. There he met his wife, Mildred Enquist. They were married in Minneapolis on February 14, 1951 and had 67 blessed years of marriage and five children, Steven, Timothy, Rebecca, David and Daniel.
Over Harold's career, he served the Komstad Mission Church, Beresford, South Dakota, Ponca Evangelical Free Church, Ponca, Nebraska, Oxlip Evangelical Free Church, Isanti, Minnesota, Lincoln Evangelical Free Church, Motley, Minnesota, Sumner Evangelical Free Church, Sumner, Nebraska, and finally Apple River Evangelical Free Church, Amery, Wisconsin. He retired to his parent's home in Durand, Wisconsin, and served as an interim pastor at the Plum City Evangelical Free Church, Plum City, Wisconsin, and worked as a caregiver for the Pepin County Human Services. Harold and Mildred moved to the Plum City Care Center in January 2016.
Harold was a committed disciple of Jesus Christ and lived out his faith with love and service to others. He also enjoyed fishing, gardening, collecting, fixing, salvaging, camping, boating, and eating (especially old favorites and new foods). He was health conscious before it was fashionable, he recycled before it was required and he saw treasures in unexpected places. Mildred was the love of his life and his children were his richest blessing.
Harold is preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Hulda, sister, LaRayne Smiley, nephew, David Smiley, and son, Timothy. He is survived by his wife, Mildred, sister, Eleanor Shelby, children, Steven, Rebecca, David and Daniel, grandchildren, Joshua, Kippen, Jonathan and LaKendra, great grandchildren, Gabriel and Wyatt, nieces, nephews and cousins.
A celebration of Harold's life and home going will be at 11:00 am on Saturday, August 12, 2017 at the Plum City Evangelical Free Church with Pastor Phillip Bloomdahl officiating. Friends may call one hour prior to services at the church on Saturday. Burial will be in Arkansaw Memorial Cemetery at a later date. Goodrich Funeral Home in Durand is assisting the family.
