At her passing, friends of Barbara White Fridrich wanted to create a memorial for her to benefit the legacy of compassion and kindness she left. They turned to The Community Foundation to create a charitable fund capable of supporting important causes in the community she called home. Barbara’s four children — Steven G. Fridrich, Howard Fridrich, Chip Fridrich and Lisa Fridrich Grayson — work with The Foundation to make grants that will keep her memory alive. Upon the passing of their father in 2013, the children changed the name of the fund to include the memory of Jerry Fridrich and honor their commitment as a loving couple to charitable causes in Middle Tennessee that they both shared.
