The Bakersfield Californian 
Freda Kirschenman Dumler

Services are scheduled for Friday, October 29, 2004, at 10:00 a.m., at Grace 
Reformed Church as Freda Kirschenman Dumler has gone home to be with the Lord.

Freda was the oldest of nine children born to Jacob and Emma Spitzer in Menno, 
South Dakota and moved with her family to Shafter 73 years ago. In 1931, she 
married Edward Kirschenman and they had three children, Wayne, Patricia and 
Thelma. She was involved every day, in every way, with her children as they 
had happy days in Shafter. 

In 1955, Freda designed their dream house and made it their home on the hill 
as Bakersfield Country Club was being built. She and Ed enjoyed entertaining 
family and friends. They hosted many gatherings and welcomed sharing their 
home. Fredas cooking was a treat and many relished the delicious pies she 
baked.

Freda supported and encouraged her children and grandchildren and delighted in 
family times together.

She was a lifelong member of the Reformed Church and church activities were 
most important to her. She was one of the first members of Bakersfield Country 
Club and enjoyed activities there through the years. Freda was a longtime 
Associate member of the Assistance League and also enjoyed playing bridge with 
her sisters and lady friends.

Several years after Eds death, Freda married William Dumler and they shared 
and celebrated 25 years of happy times, dedicated to growing old together.

Brothers, John and Oscar Spitzer and sisters, Edna Bender, Maggie Goehring and 
Caroline Merz and stepson, Dan Dumler preceded Freda in death. Freda leaves 
behind her loving husband, William Dumler; brother, Herbert Spitzer; sisters, 
Anetta Schaeffer and Aletha Delzer; son and daughter-in-law, Wayne and 
Virginia Kirschenman; daughter and son-in-law, Patricia and Bill Caffee; 
daughter, Thelma McFarland; 8 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren; stepson 
and daughter-in-law, John and Maxine Dumler; stepson, James Dumler and 2 
stepgrandchildren and 5 stepgreat-grandchildren.

We will miss dear Freda and treasure many wonderful memories. Were comforted 
to know she had a good life here on earth and is now at home with the Lord.
