Frieda Catherine Daniell's Obituary
DANIELL, FRIEDA CATHERINE PIATT, our beloved Mother and Grandmother went to be with the Lord on February 5, 2007. Frieda was born on July 30, 1913 to Ulysses S. and Evangeline Piatt in Dallas, Texas. She was married to C. Milton Daniell for 45 years before his death in 1981. Together they raised three children. Frieda was an accomplished artist. During her career she participated in numerous art shows and juried art exhibitions. Her paintings are in many private collections. She was proud that the Wadley Institute of Molecular Medicine commissioned three of her paintings as Christmas cards. She devoted her entire life to her family, friends and church. At age 19 she became a founding member of Northway Christian Church. Her artistic talents were instrumental to the success of the Northway Bazaar for over 40 years. In recognition of her devotion and commitment she was presented with a lifetime achievement award from Northway Christian Bazaar in 2001. Frieda gave generously of her time to many other organizations, including Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital, The Red Cross during WWII, Meals on Wheels, Juliette Fowler Home, and Parkland Hospital. Frieda was a kind and gentle lady with a smile for everyone and a twinkle in her eyes. She will not only be missed by her family, but by her many friends, especially those at her church and Monticello West. Frieda is survived by her children and their families, Catherine Daniell of Austin, TX, Thomas and Barbara Daniell of Palo Alto, CA, and Bob and Bernadine Daniell of Dallas, TX; grandchildren, Scott May, David May, Cathy Thomas, Karen Sanders, Lisa Daniell, Rachel Daniell, Emily Daniell and Will Daniell; eight great-grandchildren; nieces, Ann Marie Sandlin of Austin, TX, Carolyn Cox Brougher of Houston, TX; and nephews, Wyatt Cox and Robert C.
