FRANCES LOUISE DUBOVOS (FREER)
dearly loved mother, grandmother, and nanna.
With deep feelings of sorrow we say good bye to our Frances Louise Dubovos, age 101, passed away on November 07, 2019, at Newtown Rehabilitation and Health Care Center. She was born in Stamford, CT on August 31, 1918 where she was raised by her parents, John Hakes and Selma Louise Freer. Her grandparents are John Alfred Freer and Frances Doremus Hakes, and Johann Karl Petzolt and Amelia Henrietta Dehmel.
Louise married Mike John Dubovos [b. 28 Mar 1912 Northbridge, MA; d 25 Mar 1977, Stamford, CT] on January 13, 1947 in Danbury, CT.
She was pre-deceased by her siblings, Dorothy Dehmel Conklin, and John Alfred Freer.
She was always at the top of her class, graduated from Stamford High School in 1936. Louise worked for Prudential Insurance in Stamford, CT. In retirement with her church buddy's she traveled to many countries, enjoying each one more.
Her life was devoted to her church and the way of the Lord. She attended the Turn-of-River Presbyterian Church, Stamford, CT. where she was one of the signers of the original founding Charter. She was always gracious and kind and never said a bad word about anyone.
She had a great love of animals, always having at least one cat. She enjoyed sitting down with a good book, and a game of pinochle.
She moved to Newtown, CT in 1978 with her daughter, Patricia and son-in-law Jeffrey Rockwell. She continued an active life attending Almost Family Adult Day Care, where she enjoyed her friends, outings and especially bingo.
She leaves behind her son Thomas Michael Dubovos, living in Greeley, CO.
