Marcia (Peggy) Frasier

June 28, 1932 - January 1, 2021

Marcia Margaret (Larin) Frasier The piano keys have been silenced for Peggy (aka Peggy Lou) Frasier who passed away peacefully on January 1, 2021. Peggy was born on June 28, 1932 in Pittsfield, MA. She was raised in Bennington, VT with her dear, sweet parents John and Marcia Larin and her sister Joan C. Larin. Peggy graduated from St. Joseph’s Business Academy in Bennington and she landed a job as a secretary at General Electric Flight Test Center in Schenectady, NY. Peggy was soon introduced to a handsome gentleman named Hugh W. Frasier, who she married in November 1956. She then went on to work as a legal secretary for several local attorneys: Gary Gardner, Bill Gritsavage, Peter Feldstein, and Roger Paul. Peg and Hugh were married 53 years and they raised three children: John Michael Frasier, Darryl Patrick Frasier, and Celeste Joan (Frasier) English. It was a lively household filled with much laughter and love. Peggy is survived by her children John (Celene) Frasier of Amsterdam, NY and Celeste (Jack) English of Edinburg, NY and two grandchildren, Dustin Patrick Frasier and Paige Pauline English of Broadalbin, NY. Peggy was predeceased by her husband Hugh in 2009, her son Darryl Frasier and her sister Joan Larin both in 2019. Anyone who knew Peggy knew that she truly loved life and she brought a smile and that “Irish sparkle” in her eye everywhere she went. Born with a gift, Peggy sat down at an organ at the age of 7 and began to play. The rest, as they say, is history. Wherever Peggy went, the party was sure to follow. Northville natives know the story about Peg and Hugh’s moving party to their home on Sinclair Road, where NOT having a piano was simply not an option. Sidney Junquera orchestrated the moving of Peggy’s piano that very day so that the party could be complete. Without missing a beat, Peggy sat down in the midst of the boxes and she PLAYED! The boxes could wait; the music could not! Her honky-tonk, ragtime style of playing was loved by so many! Peggy was the best Mom anyone could have asked for. She was a “homeroom mother” in her childrens’ classrooms, a Boy Scouts Den Mother, and she participated for years in Bat’s Bay Theater Productions which brought her so much joy. Peg was a devoted parishioner of St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church in Northville for over 50 years. A long term member of the Rosary Society, Peg could always be counted on to say a novena for friends and family in need. Her single decade rosary was her constant companion. Always proud of her Irish roots, it is fitting to end with the traditional Irish Blessing. “May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.” Visitation will be held on Friday January 8, 2021 at the Northville Funeral Home from 4 to 6 p.m. Due to Covid-19 restrictions and out of care and compassion to those attending an occupancy restriction of only 30 will be allowed in the funeral home at one time. Facial coverings and social distancing is required. A celebration of Peggy’s life will be held in the late Spring.
