Elizabeth Taft “Ibby” Freeman 97 of East Matunuck died September 12 after a brief illness. Born in Saunderstown, she was the daughter of Marianna (Gardner) Taft and Royal C.

They enjoyed 55 years of marriage and raised their family in Providence. Ibby volunteered for numerous organizations, including Butler Hospital and Animal Rescue Rhode Island, where she served as president and started the “Paws to Read” program. She remained an active presence in her community for her full 97 years. She was quick to laugh and loved a funny story.
