Patricia Jo Fraize

Patricia was born on New Year’s Day 1950 in Houston, Texas to the late Houston and Mary Wheeler Box. She was also preceded in death by her brother Houston Box Jr.

Patricia was an exceptional wife and mother who cared deeply for her family, friends and home. She did this not out of obligation but because of love. Her home was inviting, comfortable and always well kept.

According to her husband Patricia loved spending time gardening and preparing delicious meals for her family.

Patricia’s love of life didn’t come to an end with her death. She was surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest.

She will be missed most by her husband of 37 years, John Fraize; her children, Casey Lance Box, Rachel Ann Box, John Loren Fraize, and Amanda Kay Fraize; her grandchildren, Riley and Lily Box; extended family; numerous friends; and a special Bichon named Cotton, who still spends his waking hours patiently waiting for her to walk through the door.

A celebration of Patricia’s life will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, January 29, 2021 in the Chapel of

Gross Funeral Home, Hot Springs, AR.
