Linda & Fred Herder, Jr.
Fred has been a life time member of Zion and Linda a member since the 70’s. Fred’s Mom and Dad, Lillian (Melick) and Fred Herder were married at Zion in 1944. We met in 1970 at Johnson & Johnson in Raritan, NJ where we both worked until we retired almost 40 years later. We were married at Zion in 1971.
Fred was a sergeant in the U.S. Army serving in the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1968. Fred and I also volunteered for the Whitehouse Rescue Squad for 15 years helping out our community which we enjoyed very much. Our daughter Vicki also joined at 16 and loved it, not so much her sister Brandi though. :)
Fred has lived in Whitehouse Sta. his entire life except for 7 years we lived in Bridgewater until Fred said we had to get out of the “city” and back to the country. We still live in Whitehouse Sta. Fred also loves his job at Stanton Ridge Country Club. He works in the maintenance department and enjoys working outside and hanging out with the guys.
We have been blessed with 2 wonderful daughters, 2 great sons-in-law; Brandi and Andy Berenty and Vicki and Phil Colasurdo. Both of our daughters were baptized, confirmed and married at Zion.
We also have 5fabulous grandchildren, Shelby, Dillon and Kaitlyn Berenty and Brianna and Madisyn Colasurdo. They have all been baptized at Zion with 3 being confirmed so far.
We enjoy spending time with family and watching our grandchildren grow so much right before our eyes.
I would like to also thank our Church family for all the prayers during my breast cancer battle. I really do appreciate them and know they are helping.
