Freda Ruth Pierson

Freda Ruth Pierson passed away May 1, 2026, at IU Health Arnett Hospital in Lafayette, as a result of a stroke.  She was 97 years old.

Freda was born January 27, 1929, to Minnie Curtis Clark and Floyd C. Clark in Battle Ground, IN, where she later graduated from high school.

Freda married Daniel T. Pierson on June 20, 1947.  Together they gave birth to three children:  Ruth A. Pierson, Housler, Thomas J. Pierson (Cecilia), and Linda L. Pierson, King, Staley.

Freda was preceded in death by her husband, Daniel, her daughters Ruth and Linda, her brother, Freeman Clark, her sisters Fern Rose and Fran Sheehan, as well as her parents, Minnie and Floyd Clark.

Freda was blessed with several grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She particularly enjoyed the attention given to her by her granddaughter, Jenny King, Limon over the years, often caring for her personal needs and bringing her goodies which she truly enjoyed.

Freda was an avid gardener, even thought to have a “green thumb”.  She often was able to grow plants by simply sticking them in dirt and watching them grow.  Freda enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels outside her window at Cumberland Pointe.

A special thank you to the staff of Cumberland Pointe for their kindness

and compassion in their care for Freda’s daily needs.

The family will hold a private family burial at a later date.
