Freida Capps Peel, 65, of Chatham, Louisiana walked through heaven's gates straight into the arms of Jesus on Sunday, April 6, 2025 after a brief illness.  She was born on July 24, 1959 to Fred and Jonny (Nalley) Capps and they raised her in Eros, La.  Freida graduated from Bethel High School and went on to NLU where she received her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Elementary Education. She attended Chatham Community Church where she was a faithful member for many years.  Freida was a talented pianist and singer and used her talents to serve her Lord faithfully from the time she was a child.  Serving in different music ministries with her husband for over 40 years was her joy and she used her gifts to serve and witness to others whenever she could.

Freida loved being the best Nana to her grandbabies that she could possibly be and spent as much time as she could, supporting and nurturing them.  Blueberry muffins were a staple at her house and she loved to bake with her babies.  She never missed an event for anyone in her family and loved us so well, but her favorite person was the love of her life, Danny.  They spent countless hours going on dates and enjoying their time together. She would often say how much she "loved that man".  Freida was an avid reader and loved spending time at home journaling, cooking, and having fun with her family. Her laugh was contagious and it was one of her family's favorite things about her.  It was a common sight to see her paddling around the pond in her little boat, the Jewel, trying to catch as many bream as she possibly could. Freida also loved the North Louisiana Emaus family like they were her own and devoted so much time to their ministry.

Those left behind that will always cherish her memory are her husband of 44 years, Danny Elton Peel; children, Hillary Peel Aulds and Robert of Chatham, La, Daniel Peel and Ashley of West Monroe, La; grandchildren, Harper Aulds, Nora Peel, and Lily Peel; sister-in-law, Doris Capps; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.  She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred Jewel and Jonny Mae (Nalley) Capps; brother, Freddie Joe Capps.

Friends may visit with the family on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Chatham Community Church.  Funeral services will begin at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, April 9 at Chatham Community Church with Sis. Lala Ball and Bro. Lynn Malone officiating.  Burial will follow in Salem Cemetery in Eros, under the direction of Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home of Jonesboro.

The family would like to give a special thanks to the first responders that helped our family. We will never forget what you did for us.
