WATCH: Remembering Frieda Caplan, her celebration of life live stream replay

Hundreds of people gathered in Los Alamitos, CA, to remember the Queen of Kiwi, Frieda Caplan, who “took equal, if not greater delight in really unlocking the potential in people,” who died January 18 at age 96.

Frieda’s Specialty Produce, founded by Caplan in 1962, hosted a celebration of life on February 22, and live streamed the event on YouTube for those unable to attend.
