Freidhoff. Patty married Wayne, her high school sweetheart in 1961 and they are survived by their children: Anthony W. (Linda), Conemaugh Twp.; Susan M. Kist (Robert), East Taylor Twp.; Scott A. Freidhoff, Conemaugh Twp.; Sandra A. Blinn (Michael), Camp Hill, PA; Timothy G. Freidhoff, Conemaugh Twp.; and Cindy M.
