Meghan Fraser
1980-2022
Meghan Elizabeth
Fraser, adoring mother of Aliyah Fraser, loving daughter of Rose and
Clyde Fraser and caring sister to Aaron (Eve) and Brock Fraser, passed
away peacefully in her sleep on October 18th, 2022, at the age of
42.
Meghan was born on
February 3rd, 1980, in Halifax, Nova Scotia at the Home of the
Guardian Angel and arrived in the middle of a snowstorm to the New
Glasgow home of her parents Rose and Clyde Fraser on Feb
28th. Meghan immediately
captured the hearts of her parents and extended family. She brightened
the lives of those around her and left an indelible mark on her loved
ones.
Meghan grew up
surrounded by cousins, aunts, uncles, and siblings and was full of
love. She cared deeply for those around her and always put the needs
of others above her own. She was independent, charismatic, beautiful
and resilient. Before long, Meghan developed a love for playing the
piano, swimming, downhill skiing, track and field, figure
skating, playing soccer and basketball and spending time at Pt. 44
with her grandparents. As a figure skater, Meghan, at 9 years of age,
achieved many medals (largely gold) in provincial competitions being
selected as the most promising skater of the year for N.S. by the
Canadian Figure Skating Association. That same year Meghan received
the Sun Life Merit Award for showing good sportsmanship, camaraderie,
and all-round skating ability. Meghan, at 8 years old, joined Brian
Orser and the Champions on Ice tour as the local ‘solo
performer’ on the New Glasgow Stadium tour
stop.
Meghan
was loved by her
late maternal and paternal grandparents, Patience Paris, Leonard
Paris, Moi and Ralph Fraser. Grandmother Patience treasured Meghan and
valued their short but meaningful time together. Patience cultivated
Meghan’s love of books and introduced her to literature at a young
age. The two cherished their time reading together and
developed a gentle, loving relationship. Meghan, being the first-born
of 14 grandchildren to Moi and Ralph Fraser, won a warm and special
place in their hearts. She enjoyed spending time at their home and
especially out on the sandbar. Grandfather Ralph, a practical joker,
could always find Meghan his match for his humor and
trickery.
Ralph encouraged
Meghan to pursue a career in nursing due to her sharp intelligence and
caring nature. Meghan took pride in her nursing career, completing
her B.Sc.
in Nursing in 2005 from
St. Francis Xavier University, having overcome some challenging
obstacles along the way. She was admired and highly respected by all
of her colleagues and patients. Meghan was a diligent nurse who worked
relentlessly to help all of her patients. This is evidenced in her
2015 award for Her Commitment to Success as a Team Member who
Brightens someone else’s day, Enhances the self-esteem of
others, Finds those little things that go above and beyond the call of
duty.
Meghan was a
natural-born caregiver and became a mother to Aliyah Fraser (father,
Henry Omokhua) November 1st, 2000. Meghan and Aliyah had an
inseparable bond and were glued at the hip. The two shared many
positive memories and remain deeply intertwined into
eternity.
Meghan is survived by
both of her parents, Rose (Paris) and Clyde Fraser; her
brothers, Aaron (Evelyn Leblanc) and Brock Fraser; nieces, Knoxy-Rose
Fraser and Keira-Rose Alcorn and her beloved daughter, Aliyah Rose
Fraser.
