Frieda Wampler is a spirited 95-year-old woman who lives independently (with assistance from nearby family) on a small farm in the rural community of Pleasant
Hill, Oregon, near Eugene. She cherishes memories of Thornton, with whom she shared seventy-three years of marriage, until his death in 2010. They raised two children, Bonnie and Larry. Frieda is also beloved by her three grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and a two-year-old great-great-grandson.
