Rakaela Fryman

Rakaela Nicole Fryman, a beloved and cherished daughter, sister, aunt, grand daughter, and friend entered God's embrace on April 17, 2026, at home, a place she shared the love and comfort of family and her pets.

Rakaela was born July 02, 1998 in Lexington, Kentucky to Father Joey Fryman and Mother Christy Wilhoite. The love of parents in her life grew over the years to include her loving stepmother Jessie Fryman and stepfather David Wilhoite. Rakaela grew up surrounded by family and thus family became Rakaela's dedication and brought her profound joy and happiness, and made her life complete.

Rakaela had a special love for the time she spent watching over her niece, Ellarae, a role that meant so much to her and reflected her nurturing and devoted heart.

She is survived by a loving family including, her mother Christy Wilhoite (David), her father Joey Fryman (Jessie), her sisters Adalyn Wilhoite. Hollie Rodriguez (Frank), and Autumn Fryman, her brother Trusten Fryman (Gabby), her niece Ellarae Rodriguez, and all of her aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents who will forever hold onto the memories of her kindness, warmth, and the quiet ways she showed her love every day.

Rakaela's love will be forever in our hearts and the joy she brought us will never fade. Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing she is at peace in the Lord's embrace and reunited with the loving family who went before her.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 23, 2026 from 10am to 12pm at Lusk-McFarland Funeral Home, with burial following at Paris Cemetery.
