They moved frequently, living in Fairborn, OH, Washington DC, Clark AFB, PI, and Biloxi, MS, until his retirement from the Air Force in 1951, when they settled in Clinton, MS. They moved to Fort Walton Beach in 1988 and were active in the First Baptist Church.

Freathy, and his wife, Kay, of Shalimar; a granddaughter, Sharon, and her husband, Jason Segars, of Wetumpka, AL; a grandson, Bradley, and his wife, Tammy, of Lithia, FL; six great-grandchildren; and a sister-in-law, Doris Stubblefield, of Utica, MS. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and her brother, Alfred Bethel Stubblefield III.

A very special thanks go to the staff at Belvedere Commons Assisted Living Facility who provided over 12 years of sincere and loving care for Delta. There have been too many exceptional staff members to thank individually.
