Nancy Ingram Fraser's Obituary
Nancy Fraser, 102, of Felton DE, passed away at home on December 15th 2024. She was born September 27, 1922 in Wilmington DE, daughter of the late Rowland and Adelia (Lank) Ingram.
Nancy graduated Rehoboth High School in 1940. She worked at DuPont briefly but left to focus on raising her three children. She was a devoted wife, mother and homemaker.
A deeply religious lover of life, Nancy had a deep affection for reading, playing cards and spending time at the beach. She enjoyed countless memories made with family and friends for over 50 years at their beach house on the Indian River. She embraced the beach life, especially fishing and crabbing and lounging in and near the water and getting her feet wet in the ocean. She enjoyed preparing feasts from what they caught; her favorite was soft-shell crabs.
She was an almost lifelong member of St. John's United Methodist Church, where she sang in the choir in her later years. Her warm spirit, great sense of humor, and infectious laugh brought joy to all who knew her.
In addition to her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Hugh Alexander Fraser in 1999, her sister Jane Ingram and granddaughter Billie-Sue. She is survived by her children: Rowland Fraser, Shirley Killen and her husband, Harold, and Hugh Alexander Fraser Jr. and his wife, Joy; and her 19 grandchildren: Bruce, Alex, Michael, Dion, Grayson, David, Donna, Beverly, Nancy, Glenn, Rebecca, Sarah, Philip, Bethany, Hugh III, Hannah, Steven, Crystal and Jeremy; and 51 great grandchildren.
