Ella Ree Frazier

Ella Ree Frazier, daughter of the late Elliott Frazier, Sr. and the late Irene Benson Frazier, was born January 4, 1935, in Lancaster, South Carolina. She received her education through the Lancaster, South Carolina School District. Ella retired from the Harrisburg Hospital, Harrisburg PA, working as a housekeeper in the maternity ward. Sometimes she was blessed to be present at the birth of some of her grandchildren. Spending birthdays and holidays with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren were one of her greatest joys. The entire first floor of her home would be standing room only. Ella reared her granddaughters, Angela Rembert and Angela Davis, along with the rest of her grandchildren. When you called to ask how she was doing, Ella would talk about what happened during her day, her week, what Pastor Smalls preached about and then her dog Collie. She had the gift to talk and make you laugh. Ella was a former member of Turner Memorial Missionary Baptist Church, Steelton, PA, where she sang the lead for, “You’re Going To Need Somebody On Your Side.” On May 26, 1991, she joined Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, Harrisburg, where she enjoyed singing on the Mass Choir and listening to the Word of God. Ella’s eternal life began on August 10, 2021, at UPMC Harrisburg.
