Freia David is remembered for her spectacular french fries and friendliness.

NEEDHAM, Mass. — A beloved woman who worked the french fry station at a Boston-area McDonald's for decades has died.

WBZ-TV reports Freia David, who had Down syndrome, worked at the same McDonald's restaurant for more than 30 years. She served "spectacular french fries, teased her co-workers, and greeted everyone with a smile," read her obituary.

She died on April 30 at the age of 55, according to The Boston Globe.

"Freia was born to a loving family, having Down Syndrome, but this never slowed her down," her obituary stated.

The Globe reports in her early 20s, David was employed at a workshop for adults with disabilities when the organization persuaded McDonald's to hire a few workers. David's mother agreed to try it out when recommended by a counselor.

In 2016, local media covered her retirement party -- a celebration of her work and an appreciation of her always arriving an hour early, the Globe said.

"Her retirement party was so well publicized that she became a minor celebrity," read the obituary.
