With hearts full of both sorrow and love, we celebrate the beautiful life of Ella Louise Frazier Wilson, who passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025, at the age of 82.

Ella was known for her strong work ethic, her kindness, and her unwavering devotion to others. She spent many years working in nursing homes as a personal care aide, where her gentle spirit touched countless lives.

In her younger years, Ella was known as a talented figure skater who moved with elegance and grace. She loved oldies music, reading her Bible, and spending time with her family. Her radiant smile could light up any room, and her joyful personality left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
Ella's proudest and most treasured role was being a mother to her beloved son, John Frazier. She poured her heart into raising him, guiding him with love, strength, and unwavering faith. Their bond was one of deep admiration, laughter, and lifelong devotion.
Ella also shared a tender and enduring love with her late husband, John Wilson. Together, they built a life rooted in mutual respect, laughter, and deep affection. Through every challenge and triumph, their love remained steadfast-a true partnership of soulmates reunited once more in eternal peace. Ella was previously married to Delroy Frazier, with whom she shared a meaningful chapter of her life before his passing.She leaves behind her cherished son John (Duel) Frazier; her grandchildren Jonelle Frazier, John Frazier Jr., and Myles Frazier; and her great-grandchildren Keyondre Phiffer, Maya Frazier, Tiana Nelson, Tania Nelson, and Mylee Frazier.
