IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Mar 10, 1941 — Jun 8, 2024
Jonesboro
Our beloved Dorothia Frazier also known as "Dee Dee" was born as Mollie Dorothia Miller in Reidsville, Georgia, March 10, 1941, into a loving family. Her parents Mollie Ruth Miller-Jackson and Sylvester Holloway, her grandparents John and Anna Miller, and a host of aunts and uncles all instilled in her the meaning of true family.
Dee Dee matriculated through the Tattnell County Industrial School and later moved to Albany, NY. There she worked at Albany Medical Center. While working at the Albany Medical Center, she received courses in health care services that allowed her to move up in the field of nursing. This allowed her on her move to Atlanta, Georgia to work in Atlanta's Premier Hospitals, Northside and Emory at Emory University. She retired from Emory with over 25 years of service.
One thing Dee Dee was known for, no matter if it was in Reidsville, Albany, or Atlanta, was her cooking. She was known for feeding everyone in the neighborhood. If they were hungry, Dee Dee had a plate for them. Her dinner table was open just like the Lord's communion table.
Not only did she love people but she loved her God. Raised in a faith based home, Dee Dee embraced her spirituality. She was baptized at Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Reidsville, Georgia, at an early age. Throughout her life she served the church as a choir member, Choir Director, Missionary, Mother Board member. In her passing she was the Mother of the Church at Damascus Road Christian Church. A position that she held at two other churches as she was known as Mother Frazier for the last 40 years of her life.
On Saturday, June 8, 2024, Mrs. Dorothia Frazier left her earthly home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was preceded in death by her husband Raymond Frazier, and two grandchildren, Mason Miller and Derrick Mingo.
She leaves to cherish in her memory one sister, Wynell (Ricky) Johnson of Ellenwood, GA. Two sisters-in-law, Sadie Frazier of Stockbridge, GA., and Dorothy Mae Lewis of Hinesville, GA., and two brother-in-law, Tony Frazier of Troy, NY, and Bobby Frazier of Glenville, GA. She also leaves to cherish her memory her legacy, her children; Debra Edmonds of Jonesboro, GA, Charmaine (Paul) Thompson of Hampton, GA, Douglas (Brenda) Miller, of Decatur, GA and Anita Parkman of Jonesboro GA.
