Deborah Fraize Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Debbie spent the last decade of her life in Florida, where she made a warm and loving home alongside her little sister, Jody (Melanson) Pinelle and her husband, Brian and their children, Michaela (Pinelle) Jones, Nathan Pinelle, and Jacob Pinelle. Whom she was loved like a second mother. All who knew Debbie were embraced by her constant caring presence.
She is survived by her siblings, David Fraize, Donald Fraize, William Melanson and his wife Dora, Lisa Bedard and her husband Mark, Timothy Melanson and his wife Patty, and Jody Pinelle and her husband Brian. Other survivors include her cherished niece Nicole Arslanbas who played a meaningful role in the care of Debbie and a special cousin Robert Hanson, who held a significant place in Debbie's heart. In addition to Nicole, Debbie is survived by many other nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Debbie was predeceased by her father, Thomas Fraize, mother, Ione (Glidden) Melanson, and stepfather William Melanson, as well as brothers Thomas Fraize and Vernon Fraize.
She was a proud and devoted Godmother to Nicholas Fraize, Michaela Jones, and Anna Bedard-a role she embraced with love and deep commitment.
Though Debbie's exterior could be tough to crack, those who knew her best knew the truth; once you got through that hard exterior, she was a significant marshmallow-full of love, loyalty, and a wicked sense of humor. Debbie's kindness and generous spirit could light up a room. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness a lifetime of unforgettable memories and a family who will never stop missing her.
