Sherby Orlette Frazier
June 28, 1953 - May 28, 2025

Sherby O. Frazier was born June 28, 1953, in Rison, AR and was the eldest child of the late Harllon R. and Lonnie Dean Bullard Will. Sherby attended Lanwood School in Rison, AR. She later furthered her education at Southern Arkansas University Tech in Camden, AR where she graduated as an LPN. She spent several years working in the healthcare industry holding several different positions including nursing homes, home dialysis nurse, and private in-home care. One of her greatest joys was helping to improve the quality of life of her patients. Sherby accepted Christ at an early age at Union Grove Baptist Church in Rison, AR. She later joined Shady Grove AME Church in Monticello, AR where she served as a Sunday School teacher. She was a very active and devoted member, and she loved her Church family. Sherby enjoyed reading different types of literature, collecting antiques, and she loved fashion. She was known for her loving and giving spirit, her hospitality, and her delicious home cooked meals. Whether you were a family member, a neighbor, or a complete stranger, she always wanted you to feel “at home” when you were in her presence. She was truly beautiful inside and out.

Sherby was preceded in death by her parents, Harllon R. Will and Lonnie Dean Bullard Will, her husband, Orbie Dean “Frank” Frazier, son Clarence “Eddie” Frazier, and stepson Maurice Earnest, a brother, Trenton Will, two brothers-in law, Wade “Gene” Frazier, and Darryl Malone, and mother-in-law Winnie Mobley Griddine.

Sherby leaves to cherish her memories, her daughter, Jackie Leonard (Cedric) of Monticello, AR, 2 sons, Regi W. Frazier, and Kevin A. Frazier of Benton, AR, 3 brothers, Richard H. Will of Houston, TX, Harllon L. Will of Salinas, CA, and Roger Will of Norfolk, VA, 2 sisters, Carla L. Will Brown (Michael) of Warren, AR, and Dr. Laveta L. Wills-Hale (Eric) of Little Rock, AR, 14 grandchildren whom she absolutely adored, and 48 great grandchildren who all held a special place in her heart. She also leaves to cherish her memories, brothers-in law, Johnnie Malone of Flint, MI, and Terry Malone of Monticello, AR, and sisters- in law, Ruthie Hill and Mary May both of Flint, MI, and Patty Armour of Pine Bluff, AR, and daughter-in-law Keran Ernest of Flint, MI, in addition to a host of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
