Nancy Fraser
December 13, 1953- March 31, 2021
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Dolores Fraser (Edgar). Nancy passed peacefully on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 due to the sudden and rapid progression of pulmonary fibrosis. She was lovingly surrounded by her children. She was predeceased by her husband, Allan; parents, William and Maxine Edgar; and brother, Dan Edgar. She is survived by her children, James (Liz), Tim Fraser, Christopher Fraser, Amy Robson (Joe), Colin Fraser, Sheldon Fraser and Alana Harbidge (Jarrett). Nancy is survived by her brother, Richard (Karen); sister, Marcia Wood (Patrick); and sister-in-law, Cindy Edgar. Nancy was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 13, 1953, and moved to Palm Springs with her family at the age of 14. She graduated from The College of the Dessert where she completed the Registered Nursing Program, and worked in Palm Springs as an RN. When she met Allan, she moved to Canada and began her adventure as a farm wife, a mother, and also continued nursing.
Nancy had a strong faith and was active in the church community throughout her life. In recent years she was a member of the Balzac United Church choir, a passion which she shared with Allan. Nancy had a gift of joyfulness and expressed that through music. She will be greatly missed but we know she now holds a place in the heavenly choir.
Nancy had a loving, servant heart and made friendships wherever she went. Cooking for others was her love language and she was a blessing to all that found themselves at her table.
Sincere appreciation to the staff at South Health Campus Unit 66 and ICU for their incredible care and compassion. Also, we extend our endless gratitude to Dr. Maitland, Dr. Champagne and Dr. Hutchison for helping Nancy survive three open heart surgeries, giving her the chance to create more memories with her loved ones. An additional thank you to Nancy’s pulmonary specialist Dr. Johansson who made every effort to help and support her.
A private Family Service will be held. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation; 47 Squire Baker’s Lane, Markham, Ontario, L3P 3G8.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Nancy Dolores Fraser March 31st 2021..
