My name is Michael Tolley, one of the sons of Freida, and unfortunately, I am raising this money to help with my mom’s funeral expense. She unexpectedly passed away on 04/01/2026, with no life insurance to help with these arrangements.

Mom was a bright, beautiful soul. She could make anyone laugh, even on their worst day. She was the type of woman who never forgot a birthday, and her first call was WBEJ to wish you a happy birthday. She was a family-oriented woman and loved her church fellows as well.

We’re hoping funeral arrangements will be made with Memorial Funeral Services in Elizabethton, TN, if you would choose to donate directly there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you’re not financially able to help, prayers would be very much appreciated.
