Joan Rae (Raupach) Frazier

Joan Rae Frazier, 83, a lifelong resident of Connellsville, died suddenly on Sunday, July 12, 2020 at Uniontown Hospital, after suffering the past year from a fall last summer. 

Joan, daughter of the late Jack and Florence Muzina, was born on May 4, 1937 in Connellsville. 

She was a 1955 graduate of Connellsville Joint High School.  Joan is survived by her husband, Patrick Frazier, whom she married on July 14, 1956.   

Joan was a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker raising their 7 children. 

Through the years, she worked at Anchor Hocking (where she met her husband), McCrory’s in Connellsville; worked as a cook for many years; spent countless hours volunteering at her children’s schools; and was always helping out wherever needed. 

Until her injury, she was an avid crafter and excelled at crocheting, had a green thumb and could nurse back to health and give advice on nearly any plant, enjoyed working jigsaw puzzles, and socializing with her neighbors.  

She was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Florence Muzina and grandson, Cory Frazier.  

She is survived by husband, Patrick Frazier; children Gregory (Sherri) Frazier of Mt. Pleasant, Linda Nicholson of Vanderbilt, Rosann Frazier, Louis (Theresa) Frazier, Tyrone Frazier, all of Connellsville, Jodi (David) Aurigemma of Marion, Ohio, and Terry (Joeann) Frazier, of Monessen; grandchildren Stacy Frazier, Melinda Nicholson, Donny Nicholson, Jason Zaher, Shelli (Brian) Martin, Brandon Frazier, Emily (Sean) Duff; Nicholas Aurigemma, Thomas Aurigemma, Dominic Aurigemma, Madeline Aurigemma, Mary Aurigemma, Jack Aurigemma, Rachel Frazier, Matthew Frazier, and Jayme Frazier; 6 great-grandchildren; sisters Jackie (Bill) Pritts of Scottdale and Rose (late Charlie) Crow of Findlay, Ohio; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
