Jill Friedrich, 34, was riding her bicycle when she was struck on 2nd Street and Lowry Avenue by a van in North Minneapolis on August 17. She later died from her injuries.
Friedrich is the daughter of Jayne Fox, who works in the biology department at Anoka-Ramsey, and Peter Frisch. Friedrich leaves behind a brother and a husband of three years. According to WCCO, she was on her way to a local homeless shelter to volunteer with the Mile In My Shoes organization. Friedrich was an experienced athlete and cyclist.
There will be a bike ride on Aug. 31 in Friedrich’s honor. The memorial ride will start at 5 p.m. and will begin at the site of the crash and will end at Higher Ground, the shelter Friedrich was riding to.
