Freddie T. Carnes, of Fowler Township, passed away late Wednesday morning, May 17, 2023, with his wife Peggy at his side at Concord Care Center in Hartford just two days following his 93rd birthday.

He was born on May 15, 1930, in Sharon, to James and Myrtle (Nye) Carnes and was a 1948 graduate of Sharpsville High School.

Throughout his life, Freddie worked hard to manage the family farm in South Pymatuning Township. He would also spend over 20 years overseeing maintenance for the Hartford United Methodist Church prior to his retirement in 1997.

Freddie was a beloved member of the Hartford Community Church for many years, where he and his wife attended regularly.

He is survived by his wife of more than 60 years, Margaret "Peggy" Taylor of Fowler Township; his sister, Marilyn Mezei and her husband George of Georgia; and by his nephews, Kevin and Brian Mezei.

Freddie was preceded in death by his parents.

He will be greatly missed and especially remembered for his sense of humor, kindness, generosity, and compassion for those in need.
