Mary Anne Fraze, also known as Molly Fraze, passed away on November 16, 2023, at the age of 54 in Falls Church, Virginia, surrounded by her family. She was born in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and was the loving wife of Kip Fraze of Virginia and a devoted mother to Gillian Fraze of Indiana, Katie Fraze of Virginia, and Quinlan Fraze of Virginia.
Molly was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Joan O’Brien, who will be remembered and missed by all who knew them. Molly is survived by her siblings Danny O’Brien (Sue) of Maryland, Kathy Lantz (Colin) of Colorado, Anne O’Brien (Bob Keeler) of Utah, Sarah Vazquez (Armando) of Delaware, and Jinx O’Brien (Antonio Carraro) of London. She was also a cherished aunt to Shannon (Charlie) Bosse, Frankie Vazquez, Clare Keeler, William O’Brien, Erin Vazquez, and Myla Joan Bosse. Molly also had many more loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Molly attended high school in Frederick, Maryland, where she laid the foundation for her future endeavors. She went on to become a dedicated Manager at All Makes and Models, leaving a lasting impact on her colleagues and company. She volunteered and then worked for St. Bernadette’s Catholic School while her kids attended. Outside of her successful career, Molly had a zest for life. She enjoyed spending time at the beach, hosting family game nights (charades being her favorite), and being surrounded by her loved ones. Molly had a selfless nature and always put others before herself. She was a mother to all, and her natural response to any child in need was to take them under her wing.
Molly’s presence will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. Her memory will forever be cherished, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
A memorial service will be held at St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Springfield, VA at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday November 29, 2023.
