Frieda was born in New York City on June 8, 1918 but moved to the Catskills as a young child after her father died. Her mother worked as a cook in the resort hotels for many years. Frieda spent much of her life in South Fallsburg, NY. Frieda married Beryl Proyect in 1952 and quickly became his partner in Proyects Fish Market, working long hours serving the kosher community in the Catskills. On Friday mornings, the store was filled with the aroma of fresh gefilte fish and chicken soup cooking on a stove in the front of the shop that Frieda had installed which allowed her to keep Shabbat and serve her customers all day long. Frieda was an active member of the Sisterhood of the South Fallsburg Hebrew Association. She was also a longtime member of Hadassah. In later years, Beryl and Frieda retired to Delray Beach, FL along with much of their extended family.
