Freda was an honor graduate of Sallie Phillips Durrett High School in Louisville, and an honor graduate of Western Kentucky University, where she received her bachelor degree in Interior Design. While at WKU, she met her soulmate and love of her life, Scott Browning. Freda was a member of Phi Upsilon Omicron (a national honor society in family and consumer sciences) and an honorary KY Colonel.

Freda was a longtime member of First Baptist Church. She enjoyed playing tennis in her younger years, reading, studying the Bible, and spending time with family and friends. Freda and her husband, Scott, Co-owners of Browning's Fine Furniture, enjoyed working together for over 30 years before closing the business in 2005.
