Born November 13, 1940, in Cass, she was a daughter of the late Theodore and Doris Robertson Blackhurst.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her dear husband, Coach Elmer Friel; and two sisters, Gertrude Wooddell and Betty Lou Blackhurst. 

She is survived by her children, Elaine Friel (Deb Stark), of Manassas, Virginia, and Rick Friel (Lori Articola Friel), of Knoxville, Tennessee; her grandchildren, Julianna Friel and Jessica Friel, both of Knoxville, Tennessee; her sisters, Barbara Shaw (Ernest Shaw), of Marlinton, and Rebecca Judy (Joe Judy), of Mill Creek; and several nieces and nephews.

Friends may call from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 20, 2022, at Lantz Funeral Home in Buckeye. 

Funeral service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 21, 2022, at Marlinton United Methodist Church with Butch Michael officiating.
