Glenn Wayne Frazier Sr.

Glenn Wayne Frazier, Sr., age 77, stepped into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, after a 2 ½ year courageous battle with Cancer and is now healed and out of pain! He passed peacefully in the SECU Hospice House of Brunswick – Lower Cape Fear LifeCare in Bolivia, North Carolina.
Glenn was born and raised in the Wake Forest Church of God where he learned the exciting stories of God's people and the importance of honesty, integrity, family and helping all of mankind which were also the traits taught by his parents, Marvin C Frazier (age 96) and Lara F Frazier, (age 71) who preceded him in death. He was an extremely outgoing, talented young man with the gift of a photographic memory. His teachers used to get very frustrated with him for reading (rather than listening) in their class; however, when they asked a question, he knew the answer (even though he was not listening). While attending church, he met his first love and later wife, Dovie Griffin. After being smitten, this talented young man failed his grade (on purpose), to spend one more year in classes with her. After studying accounting, working in the corporate world, and raising two sons, his journey with Dovie ended. God sent him his second love of his life, the most devoted wife a man could have, Wanda Biszantz Kistler whom he shared 33 years together taking care of each other. The love, support and devotion between them was seen and shared with their five children.
He loved reading, dancing, designing, mentoring others and working with his hands. He also liked talking with people and being members and leaders of the Caswell Beach Turtle Watch. He worked for Amoco Credit Card Center in Raleigh as a Manager for ten years. He moved on to work with Automatic Vending Service (AVS) for many years managing the bottled water division. After retiring he moved to Oak Island, NC and became a Realtor and Condominium Maintenance Manager. He loved living and working in Oak Island area. He became well known at many of the restaurants in the area and developed lasting friendships. He was also able to share his love for Oak Island with visitors that came looking for a vacation spot or a vacation home. He also loved to share a group text nightly with his sister, Judy and brother Mike asking about their day and teasing them about something. Those texts slowed in July 2024, when his cancer decided to show its ugly head again. Those sparing sessions will be sorely missed by his siblings. Glenn was a man who took family and his responsibilities seriously.
He leaves a multiple listing of devoted family and friends. He leaves cherish his memories, his devoted wife Wanda B Frazier of Bolivia; two (2) sons: Glenn W. Frazier, Jr. (Adria) of Walterboro, SC; Marvin Lee Frazier (Tina) of Metairie, LA; three (3) step-children: Wendy K.
