She was born in Bridgeport, IL on April 18, 1936, the daughter of Charles and Bertha (Waggoner) Morrical. She married James Erlinger on November 27, 1954 in Carlyle and he preceded her in death.

Frieda was a happy, giving person and was also very independent-minded. She enjoyed camping with friends, canoeing, and playing cards. In later years, she enjoyed dining out, being with family, and was enthusiastically engaged in progressive politics.
