Yvonne Fried
Yvonne Fried, M.D., fourth child of five born to Milton and Esther Fried, the founders of Freed’s Bakery, where countless Las Vegans of all persuasions since the 1960s stood in line for such traditional Jewish pastries as rugelach and coconut macaroons or to order a special occasion cake or pickup their weekly order of a freshly baked challah. In 1955, Yvonne arrived in Las Vegas as the little sister with three older brothers. Their father was a musician, who ventured into the snack bar business, which he grew with his enterprising wife. Yvonne became a medical physician and lives in Oregon.
