Mary Fredrich

Mary Fredrich, age 62 of Flint, Michigan died in Franklin, Wisconsin unexpectedly of a brain tumor on Wednesday July 31st, 2024.

She was born in Milwaukee, WI on March 22nd, 1962, to Daniel J. Ziolkowski and Diane L. Murawski. She attended St. Helens Catholic Grade School followed by Notre Dame High School before beginning work at McDonalds and subsequently Grand Blanc High School.

Mary was preceded in death by her father, Daniel J. Ziolkowski and is survived by her mother Diane L. Murawski, her son Bradley (Whitney) Gibbs, her son Jeremy Fredrich, and her daughter Vanessa Fredrich. She is survived by her brother, James (Dawn) Ziolkowski, her brother David (Jenny) Ziolkowski, and sister Sandra (Joe) Ziolkowski.

Though she thoroughly enjoyed puzzles, and scratch off tickets, her most beloved role was that as a grandparent. She treasured her time with her grandchildren and loved being their grandma, never failing to bring them something special each time she visited. Jaxson, Alexis, Maddox and Emersyn will miss her dearly.

Mary had a soft spot for her furry friends, treating each one like a valuable family member. Her most cherished pet was her dog, Brandy.

Mary was passionate about her role as a hospitality server at Grand Blanc High School where she served young people for many years in the Food Service Department. Serving food for over 20 years has led her to make many great friends through coworkers that she worked with and inspired many young individuals daily.

Mary will always be remembered for her deep love of her children and her willingness to help others any chance she had. We couldn’t have asked for a better Mother, Daughter, Sister and Grandmother and will miss Mary each and every day. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her.

A celebration of life will be held for Mary at a later date with her dearest family and friends. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the American Cancer Society in Mary’s name.
