Onelia Pugh Fredrickson

September 4, 2012

Onelia Pugh Fredrickson, 90, died peacefully on Saturday, September 1, 2012, in Pensacola. She was born in Molino on April 14, 1922, and lived most of her life in the Pensacola area, an active and vibrant member of her community. She retired from Monsanto in 1985 after nearly 30 years of service.

Onelia had many talents including painting, ceramics, flower-arranging and cooking. Her greatest talent was that of helping others, family and friends and even those she did not know personally. Her Christian faith was unwavering and unchanging; she was committed to the original doctrines of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and has been a member of the Pensacola Restoration Branch for many years.

Onelia is survived by her four children: Warren Boughton, Sr., Tim Pasquarelli (Diane), Carmen Paroby and Henry Fredrickson (Cathy); eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren; her sister and brother-in-law, Allene and Alton Gilmore, her brother McGlaun Pugh and many loving nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Walter and Margaret Pugh, brother, Thomas Walter “Pat” Pugh and sister Marguerite Medley.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, September 5, 2012, at 11 a.m. at Rose Lawn Funeral home in Gulf Breeze. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 10 a.m. until the service hour. The service will be officiated by Onelia’s nephew, Elder Dale Gilmore, with assistance from Chaplain Dan Hamel. Interment will follow at Eastern Gate Cemetery.

The family would like to thank the staff of Homestead Village for caring gently for Onelia and to Hospice for the loving kindness shown to her in her last hours on this earth. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Covenant Hospice, 5041 N. 12th Avenue Pensacola, FL 32504.

Arrangements entrusted to Rose Lawn Funeral Home of Gulf Breeze.
