Obitary for Daphne Friele
| Media Title | Obitary for Daphne Friele |
| Media Notes | CHESHIRE - Daphne Mundinger Friele, 82, formerly of Cheshire and Wallingford, died peacefully on Wednesday, April 16, 2008. Born in Funchal, Madeira, Jan. 17, 1926, she was the daughter of the late Josephine Marion and Frederick Cecil Walker. Daphne was predeceased by her loving husbands Col. Robert G. Mundinger and Berent E. Friele, both World War II veterans and former members of the elite Jedburgh Group. Project Jedburgh was a joint allied program, with the OSS whose members parachuted behind enemy lines to assist resistance fighters in France prior to D Day. During World War II, Daphne was a member of the British First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, and served as the Jedburgh commanding officer's secretary. In later years, she worked tirelessly to reunite the French, British and American Jedburgh members and helped record the history of the unit, for which she was awarded the French Ordre National du Merite and the British Member of the Order of the British Empire. She excelled at the many duties and obligations of an Army Officer's wife both in the United States and during overseas assignments. Daphne later worked at the State Department, in Washington, DC, and at the American Embassy in Paris, France. Daphne was gracious to all, an avid gardener, and loved all creatures great and small. Daphne is survived by two devoted daughters and sons-in-law, Barbara and Gary Smith of Boca Raton, Fla., and Susan and James LaBrecque of Cheshire; additionally, "Grannie Goose" is survived by three loving grandchildren, Barbara Anne Smith, Susan McConnell and Berent LaBrecque; as well as two great-grandchildren, Reilly and Tyler McConnell. A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 10 at 1 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 65 N. Main St., Wallingford. Burial will be at Arlington National Cemetery, Va., June 19 at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
