Carol D. Frazier

Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and Anaheim, California

Carol Frazier, age 64 years, of Cuyahoga Falls, OH and recently of Anaheim, California passed away early on February 6th due to complications of Alzheimer’s Disease. Carol was the daughter of Dr. Harold Allistone Frazier and Audrey Rose Frazier. She was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio at Green Cross General Hospital (now Western Reserve Hospital) on December 20th, 1960.

Carol was a truly special person with Down Syndrome who was full of love and laughter. It was always a joy to be around her as she instilled others with an appreciation for even the smallest accomplishments every day. Carol’s energy and love inspired all of her siblings to pursue careers in which they served others.

Carol was passionate about writing and coloring on her reams of paper and shuffling cards. One of her biggest pleasures was eating chocolate. Another source of real joy for Carol was participating in the Special Olympics. She was an outstanding athlete and particularly enjoyed swimming. She won numerous Special Olympic medals over the years and wore them with such pride.

Carol was a graduate of the Weaver School and Sheltered Workshop (now Weaver Industries) in Tallmadge, Ohio. During her adult years, Carol was an active and productive member of the community in positions that included working at a car wash in Stow, OH and working, with great satisfaction, in the kitchen of Integrity House in Orange, CA.
