Start: 2021-11-18T11:00:00.000Z
Location: St. John's Parish Church

Donald Philip Frazier Johns Island - Donald Philip Frazier, 82, of Johns Island, SC, husband of Sally Hart Frazier, entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, November, 10 2021. Don was born on October 29, 1939 in Erwin, NC, son of the late Wilbert T. Frazier, Sr. and Sallie Moore Frazier. Don was orphaned at age six and he and his siblings were moved to Barium Springs Presbyterian Home for Children, which he always counted as the most positive influence on his life. There, he was blessed with a Christian upbringing and many lifelong friendships. Don had a long career in educational administration at several independent schools in Georgia, Delaware, and Tennessee. Don's legacy is found in the lives he touched through his work in education; developing life-long relationships with students, families, teachers, and staff in every workplace and church. Though he was known for his strong work ethic, Don loved Tarheels basketball, the New York Yankees, and spoiling his grandchildren with love, country breakfasts, and shopping trips. He was known to all as the ultimate host, planning countless celebrations and hosting visiting friends and family. His Low Country Boils and homemade peach ice cream will be greatly missed by many. In addition to his wife of 53 years, Donald is survived by his daughter, Anne Elizabeth Ahrens (Jeffrey); sister, Annie Frazier Driskell (Jack); and grandchildren, Catherine, Stephanie, and Alexander Ahrens. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Wilbert T. Frazier, Jr. and daughter, Sarah Frazier. His memorial service will be held on Thursday, November 18, 2021, at the St. John's Parish Church, 3673 Maybank Highway at 11:00 am. Arrangements are by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. West Ashley Chapel. Memorial donations can be made in his honor to Barium Springs Cemetery Museum Fund (P.O. Box 1, Barium Springs, NC 28010) or to Woodland Presbyterian School of Memphis, TN (www.woodlandschool.org.).

Don was so much more than a boss and mentor to me. His ability to effectively lead with kindness and compassion is something very few people can master. I will forever be grateful for Don's impact on my life, professionally and personally. My condolences to Sally, Anne & her family, and Annie, and all those who loved Don.

Thanks be to God that Don Frazier crossed my path in 1992. There aren't enough words to express how much he meant to me as his co-worker and as his friend. He was loved and respected by all. I shall miss our conversations that always began with, "Hey Boss" and ended with "Mrs. V"
