Alice N. Frederiksen

Obituary

Alice Naomi Nelson Frederiksen was born on July 28, 1926, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Axel and Wilhelmina (Johnson) Nelson. Alice spent a happy childhood hiking and exploring the hills of Little Falls, Minnesota and the Bluffs along the Mississippi River. She received her education in Little Falls, and was a graduate with the Little Falls High School class of 1944. She furthered her education at the Minnesota School of Business in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In 1947, while on a three-month trip, Alice met Roy when they were both employed at Yellowstone National Park. On September 12, 1948, Alice was united in marriage to Roy E. Frederiksen in Norseland, Minnesota. This marriage was blessed with four children, Lynn, John, Jean, and Paul. Alice and Roy resided in Watertown, South Dakota, Springfield, Minnesota, Cosmos, Minnesota, Cynthiana, Kentucky, and Hutchinson, Minnesota, (and in each of those homes, the kitchen was always a soft yellow). They relocated to Buffalo Lake, Minnesota in August of 2021. Alice and Roy shared 73 years of marriage.

Alice was employed as an Administrative Secretary for Wold Chamberlin Airport, now known as Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. She worked at Cosmos News in Cosmos, Minnesota, for many years and played the church organ at First Lutheran Church in Cosmos.

Alice enjoyed RV traveling, sewing, reading, and history, especially Little Falls and Duluth, Minnesota. She thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her family, grandchildren and friends.
