Robert Wood Frazier

Robert (Bob) Wood Frazier passed away peacefully at his home in Auburn, WA, on October 26 at the age of 81 after a short illness. Born in Seattle, WA, on September 19, 1941, Bob was a graduate of Lakeside School and completed his undergraduate degree in Business at the University of Washington in 1967. He worked as a lending officer at Peoples National Bank of Washington.

A resident of Queen Anne for over 50 years, Bob was a lifelong volunteer who lent his creativity and dedication to a number of community organizations. The Queen Anne Historical Society especially fueled his passion for history and genealogy. His devotion to Queen Anne Methodist Church, where Bob contributed countless hours and sang in the choir, was shared by his wife and partner, Nadine. Possessing an unquenchable curiosity, Bob was an avid reader and a lifelong learner; he delighted in sharing his latest findings with family and friends. He traveled the world and embraced diverse cultures and many musical genres.

Nothing brought him greater joy, though, than spending time with cherished family members and dear friends, especially his granddaughter, Alicia, who held a special place in his heart and provided personal care and attention as Bob approached the end of his life. Bob never met a stranger; he made friends effortlessly throughout his life.

Bob is preceded in death by his wife, Nadine, parents Alice Lou and James Wood Frazier, and sister, Fay Jamison Weinthal. He is survived by his wife's three children, David (Michael), Michael (Christie) and Charlotte (Kevin); four grandchildren, David Barney, Alicia Berrios, Kevin Rivera Jr. and Amanda Rivera; and three great-grandchildren, Aiden, Ethan and Adaline.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday, December 3, at 1:00 PM at the First United Methodist Church in Auburn, WA. Donations may be made in Bob's memory to the Queen Anne Historical Society.
