Alice was born March 26, 1936 in Kansas City, Missouri to the union of Ruben Edmondson and Mary Katherine Warfield, both of whom preceded her in death. Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Alice attended school in the Kansas City, Missouri school district, where she graduated from RT Coles High School, class of 1954. Alice went on to attend Park College where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration in 1992. After high school, Alice went on to work as a seamstress for Midlands on the Plaza, and then for Wolf Brothers (Kansas City). She later worked for Western Electric. She also worked for many years as a paralegal, and finally for the US Department of Agriculture, where she eventually retired.
On November 7th, 1953, Alice married Richard Charles Frazier, who gained his heavenly wings in 2001. From their union were born two boys, Richard Steven Frazier and Brian Michael Frazier. Alice had two siblings who preceded her in death - Howard Johnson and Shirley Haynes. Alice had a huge passion and love for playing cards, watching her Kansas City Chiefs play, spending time with family and church friends, listening to jazz and traveling. She could sew even the best designer under the table, often making complete outfits for her sons from scratch. Alice was always dressed to impress, and would smell of her favorite perfume, “Charlie”. Alice was a God-fearing woman who believed that through Christ all things were possible, and she always remained positive.
She enjoyed being a wife, mother, and grandmother, and was fiercely passionate about her love for her family. She lived her life unapologetically, with grace, humility, and selflessness. Alice leaves behind her two sons, Richard Frazier (Sylvia) and Brian Frazier (Summer), along with 6 granddaughters, Nicole Garner (Grady), Rudiana Leonard (Sherik), Richa Jackson (Haywood), Michelle Frazier, Holli Frazier, and Olivia Frazier. She had 2 nieces - Sharon Reliford (Johnny), and Michelle Johnson, as well as 3 nephews - Derek Haynes (Bridget), Charles Perie, and Louis Haynes, along with a host of great-grandchildren, family, and life-long friends. In January of 2017, Alice relocated to Fort Collins, Colorado to live with her youngest son Brian, where she enjoyed going to lunch, dinners, and shopping, before gaining her heavenly wings.
