Katie Lynn Fragoso, 35, of Midland, passed away on Monday, November 3, 2025. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home Chapel. Following the service, a reception will take place at The Branch at NPW.
Katie was born on November 17, 1989, in El Paso, Texas, to Linda and Stephen Fragoso. She was a proud mother to two beautiful daughters, Tezalei Mata and Kenzin Fragoso, whom she loved dearly. Katie moved to Midland with her family when she was just one month old. Growing up, she was artistic and shared a close bond with her sisters. Together, they created lasting memories, often putting on shows in the living room and inventing new ways to play. Katie's creativity and determination carried over into competitive softball, which she played for many years alongside her twin sister, Julie-Katie as pitcher and Julie as catcher. This made for some interesting games. Her fastball was especially memorable.
At a young age, Katie prayed with her dad and became a Christ follower, developing a deep love for her church. At ten years old, she would wake up early every Sunday morning to help her dad and sisters set up for their new church, Stonegate Fellowship. She later became actively involved with the youth group and volunteered her time and energy for service at the church. More recently, she participated in the Citizens on Patrol program through the Midland Police Department, serving the community in various ways. She loved her bling, rap music and finding fun things to do. Katie always dreamed of traveling the world and experiencing new adventures whenever possible.
Katie is survived by her daughters, Tezalei Mata and Kenzin Fragoso; her parents, Stephen and Linda Fragoso; her three sisters, Amanda Mabee, Julie Parker, and Holly Burke; her grandmother, Kathlyn Long; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews who will cherish her memory.
Katie was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Robert Fragoso and Wilburn Long, and her grandmother, Diane Fragoso.
The family would like to express their gratitude towards the hospital staff, friends, and all those who provided support and love in incredible ways.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to your local food bank. Katie had a heart for helping others, and supporting your local food bank would be a meaningful way to honor her memory.
