Obituary

Heather Joy Frazier passed away at the age of 50, on Thursday 12/22/22, at Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg after an extended illness. Heather wasn’t expected to make it to her 50th birthday but she showed her immense strength and determination by making it to her final birthday. Heather was born during a winter storm, and she left during one as well.  Heather’s biggest joy in life was her 13-year-old daughter, Ande Braelynn Frazier-Knoche. Heather loved her family immensely and was so grateful for their support and love. She enjoyed cooking, watching cooking shows, Wisconsin sports, music, board games and politics.


Heather was preceded in death by her beloved maternal grandparents, Alvin and Edna Gust; paternal grandfather, Ishmael Frazier; maternal aunt, Janet (Gust) Arneson; and cousins, Leo Endres and Bill Witek. She is survived by her daughter, Ande Frazier-Knoche; parents, Michael Frazier and Jill (Gust) Frazier; paternal grandmother, Patricia Frazier; her sisters, Janet Frazier (Jason Hatch) and McKinzie (Frazier) McGregor (James); and Paul Ziegler, her friend. Many aunts, uncles, niece and nephew, cousins and friends that will miss her terribly.


Before her passing Heather made ornaments for her family that said, “It is better to laugh than cry.” This is something her Grandpa Gust would say, and she wanted everyone to remember that when she was gone.


Heather’s family would like to thank those who cared for her, especially Paul Ziegler, the doctors and nurses at St. Mary’s hospital and Home Healthcare. A special heartfelt thank you to Agrace for making Heather comfortable and cared for during her final days. Heather was able to pass away peacefully because of the immeasurable care that Agrace provided.

My favorite memory of Heather is driving on random road trips with no where particular to go, listening to music with the windows down. Thank you for being my big sister! I love you

Heather could always make me laugh. It was just a few words or something muttered under her breath that would crack me up. She was so clever - I always envied that. One of the smartest people I know - gone too soon. I hope your next life is filled with your middle name! I'll miss you, Heather Joy!

I’ve known you most of our lives. We grew up together from kindergarten on and maybe even before that at the babysitters. We were not very close, but I’ll never forget you. Rest in Peace my friend!

I have so many fond memories of Heather from our high school days & bowling for JMM. We always had a great time at the weekly tournaments be it in the Madison area, Beloit or Janesville. You were a beautiful soul & one of the kindest people I've known. RIP...you'll be missed.
