FREDERICA F. McCLUSKEY

Frederica F. “Freddie” McCluskey, 75, of White Haven, passed away on Sunday, March 9, 2025 in Allied Hospice Center, Mead St., Wilkes-Barre, after a lengthy and courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma.
 

Born in Wilkes-Barre, Freddie was the daughter of the late Fred and Flossie (Barry) Brandmier, and worked as a secretary for the PA Department of Welfare. Freddie was a lifelong member of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of White Haven, where she belonged to WELCA and the quilting group. Freddie enjoyed being on the lake fishing with her husband, Howard, and she was famous for her excellent baking, cooking, and sewing skills. Most important to Freddie, however, was spending time with her husband Howard, her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren, all of whom were the light of her life.

In addition to her parents, Freddie was preceded in death by her infant brother.

Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband, Howard, with whom she would have celebrated 55 years of marriage in June; daughter Sherry and her husband Boomer of White Haven, son Tom and his wife Clare of Lewes, Delaware; grandchildren Roger and his wife Carly, Michael and his wife Ashley, Jack, Andrew and his wife Hannah, Samantha, Olivia, Tyler, and Grace; great-grandchildren Rhett, Eliana, Magnolia, and Adelyn. Also surviving are her sisters, Mary Gower and Edith Brandmier-Leppanen; nieces and nephews.

Funeral service will be held on Thursday, March 13, 2025 at 11:00 am at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 418 Berwick St., White Haven. Interment will follow in Laurel Cemetery, White Haven.
