Mrs. Travis was born on July 2nd, 1940, in Ellijay to the late Fred William and Dorothy Gertrude Davis Hall. Freida was a graduate of Gilmer High School and Truett McConnell.

In 1983, she met the love of her life Dr. James "Jim" Travis. After marrying in 1989 with a blended family, Jim and Freida build their life in Athens, GA. They traveled the world together and spent 14 years at their summer home on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia enjoying nature, outdoor activities, and their favorite local spots. It was during this time Freida decided to enroll in art classes, and discovered her natural talent for painting. Over the years, family and friends were gifted with beautiful artwork to cherish.

Freida also enjoyed time with family and friends, tending to her flower garden, reading, live music, and theater performances. She had a deep affection for animals and showered her 3 beloved poodles, who passed before her, with an abundance of love and attention.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Dr. James Travis.
