Wyona Lea Frazier, best known by everyone who loved her as "Granny" , was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She peacefully passed away on Saturday, September 17, 2022 in her home surrounded by her loved ones.
Wyona was born on December 9, 1941 in Bell California, to parents Thelma and Albert Byrnes. She graduated from Paramount High School, Paramount California in 1960. She furthered her education by completing an Associates of Applied Science, Executive Assistance from Utah Valley State College on April 27, 1995.
While living in California, she met the love of her life, Charles Thomas Frazier (Tom). They were married in the summer of 1961 on June 16, and later solemnized in the Los Angeles LDS Temple.
A life long lover of crafting, there are many of us who have some kind of Wyona creation in our homes. From quilts and blankets to bibs and burp cloths, and of course the forever loved "Granny Grips" which have saved many hands while opening jars.
She will always be remembered for her amazing cooking skills, From her jalapeno dip to her holiday sweet role wreaths.
She had a passion for fresh fruits and vegetables and couldn't pass up a roadside stand. She and Tom were known to drive up to Brigham City to pick up the latest fresh fruit. They loved driving around together on rides, spending time, and simply enjoying each other's company.
Wyona's bottomless purse will always be a family wonder. Whenever anyone needed anything, it could be found deep in her purse. She even had a keychain in the shape of a kitchen sink.
Friends described her as "one of the funniest people I've known" and "a true friend and a wonderful mother".
Wyona is blessed with three amazing daughters, Lori Frazier (Darlene Dixon) Valarie Sorenson and Nicky Bowers. Six beautiful grandchildren ; Kami Mendoza, Justin Bowers (Kaylee), Kristi Chatwin (Zac), Austin Sorenson (Jacklynn) Nicole Todd (Garland) and Katelyn Rogers (Rhett) and fourteen great grandchildren; Dallas, Rilee, Taiya (Woods), Kayden, Kyson, Kyler (Todd) , Addi, Finn, Sully (Chatwin), Railey, Avery, Waylon (Bowers), Lincoln and Emma (Rogers).
She is survived by her sisters – Alberta Kalma (Tom), Bobbie Jo Allred (Jeff) and her brother Richard Byrnes (Nan). She was proceeded in death by her husband Charles (Tom) Frazier, her parents Thelma and Albert Byrnes, her sister Charlotte Atkins and her son -in-law, Coy Bowers.
Wyona was always willing to help whenever needed: whether to help someone move or provide a warm blanket for a family in need, she could always be counted on. Her devotion to her church and her service commitments far surpassed her current Ward boundaries. Wyona held many positions within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Her commitment to help others and through her church callings, Wyona made lifelong friends all over the state. Once you are a friend of Wyona's you are her friend for life.
