A service of Tribute, Love and Respect was held June 7, 2005 for Frieda Lucille Laxague, who peacefully passed on in her Cedarville home to be in the gardens of the Lord on June 2, 2005. She was laid to rest in the Cedarville Cemetery, Cedarville, CA.
Frieda Lucille Gysin Laxague was born to Paul Gottlieb Gysin and Lucille Daisy Gysin on April 9, 1933, in Alturas, CA.
When she turned two, her family moved to Montague, then to Yreka and Medford before she started school in Alturas.
In 1949, she worked as an usher at the theater and at the soda fountain. On December 24, 1949, she met the love of her life, husband-to-be, Bill Laxague, Sr. at the dance hall in Alturas (now Frank's Carpets). They were married on September 15, 1950 in Reno, NV.
Frieda touched the lives of so many. Frieda had an open house and open arm personality, and her home became a gathering place for the friends and family she so dearly loved.
"She was a statue, a powerful influence, without exerting force," describes her husband. "She pulled everyone together, like hub on a wheel. She was the orchestra leader." Her life was full of love, laughter, warmth and creativeness.
The family lived in Witchita Falls, TX while Bill was stationed there with the Air Force. In March 1955, they moved to Cedarville, then in 1959 to Beaver Marsh, Oregon, where Bill and his brothers bought half interest in a sawmill they operated. A few years later, the family moved to Bend, OR to open and operate a Union Truck Service Station.
In the winter of 1963, the family moved to Alturas. They built their home on Patterson Street in Cedarville, where Frieda wanted to spend her life. She had a great gift of planting and could make anything blossom. Her interests included crafts, examples of which fill her home and gifts she made for others. She loved cruises to Hawaii and Mexico, water and waterfalls and their heavenly cabin at Tom Lee Meadows. She also loved flying and became great friends with Carol and Randy Humble. Carol became the "sister she never had."
Mrs. Laxague was preceded in death by her father; step-father; and a granddaughter.
Survivors include her loving husband of 55 years; mother; son; 2 daughters; grandchildren; 2 brothers; and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins.
