Cecile “Lynn” (Pearce) Freno Obituary
Cecile "Lynn” Pearce Freno, age 79, of Burnside, PA, an adoring wife, devoted and loving mother, cherished grandmother and great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away peacefully with her family on Tuesday, October 11, 2022.
She was born on November 28, 1942 to the late Cecil and Rhoda Pearce in Youngstown, Ohio.
Lynn married the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Freno, Sr., in 1962. They shared sixty years of marriage together and created a beautiful family of their own.
She was a graduate of Purchase Line Area School District.
Lynn was a longtime member of the Church of The Resurrection, where she attended at the Glen Campbell site.
She was also a member and treasurer of the Glen Campbell American Legion Auxiliary Post #435. For many years Lynn was the Steward at the legion.
She and her husband, Bob, owned and operated Freno’s Bar for over twenty years.
Lynn joins her parents, Cecil & Rhoda Pearce; her grandson, Stephen Yamrick; her sister, Linda A. Fry; infant brother Kevin R. Pearce; and father-in-law and mother-in- law, Andy and Anna Freno in heaven.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Robert “Bob” Freno; her favorite and cherished daughter, Patty (Freno) Yamrick and husband Michael of Burnside, PA; her son, Robert Freno, Jr. and wife Deb of Dixonville, PA; her grandchildren: Michael Yamrick, Jr. and wife Cassie of Greensburg, PA; K.C. Jasper, Latrobe, PA; Robert Freno III and Courtney of Home, PA; Patty Ann Hinton and husband, Josh of Glen Campbell, PA and her thirteen great-grandchildren who filled her life with joy.
Also surviving are her siblings: David J. Pearce of Burnside, PA and Connie (Pearce) Yingling and husband, John of Cherry Tree, PA along with numerous nieces and nephews.
To know “Lynnie” was to love her… and she whole-heartedly loved her husband and family. She always had them on a pedestal! She will not be forgotten by the many memories shared, such as her annual family Christmas Eve dinners, which she looked forward to preparing each year.
She will be remembered for the unique way she could make anyone laugh and her heartfelt kindness that showed even through her contagious smile. Her authentic nature made everyone feel like they were her family.
“Lynnie” also possessed that one profound quality that made her who she was – her stubbornness. Shopping was one of her favorite things to do, along with going to camp, and weekend getaways with her ‘Patty.’
Lynn was also very proud of her other titles earned in life such, as “Gram” and “GiGi.” If you were blessed to know her, you know all of this is true!
Family and friends will be received from 2-6:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 16, 2022 at the Rairigh Funeral Home, Ltd. in Hillsdale, PA. A funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, October 17, 2022 at the Church Of The Resurrection in Glen Campbell, PA officiated by Fr. James Morley.
