Shea Fraley Obituary

Ronald Beverly Shea Fraley (Shea), 68, of Anderson, Indiana, met face to face with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, January 23, 2026. Shea was born to Gwendolyn Grace (Rawlin) Fraley and Ronald Dale Fraley. He was born, raised, and resided in Anderson. He attended Madison Heights High School and received his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Anderson University. Shea took pride in being a Registered Nurse for 32 years and was well known for his exceptional bedside manner. He truly went above and beyond to provide care for the sick and injured.

Shea attended New Life Christian Church (Pastor Johnny Cawthorn) and loved to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was a true soldier for Christ, and his loved ones find comfort and peace knowing that he is with Jesus.

Shea loved the outdoors, was considered a movie connoisseur by his children, and was a lover of classic rock. He was passionate about Civil War history and proudly participated in reenactments, enjoying every opportunity to bring history to life. Most of all, Shea adored being with his family and friends.

Shea was preceded in death by his parents, Gwendolyn and Dale Fraley.

He is survived by his sister, Beth Mollet (John), brother, David Fraley and many cousins. His children: Adam Fraley (Zach Morrison), Andrea Beeman (Antonio Johnson), and Alexandra Fraley (Jacob McLain). His beloved grandchildren: Raegan Fraley, Kade McLain, Ariah Beeman, and Kyle McLain. Special friends: Pam Nalywaiko, Jesse Courtney, Johnny Cawthorn, and Ron Allen.

A celebration of life service will be held at a later date. That information will be shared once available.
