Nellie Frasier Grandy, 84, went to be with the Lord on Monday, July 21, 2008. She passed away at her residence in Fonda with her family by her side.
She was born in North Hampton, NY, on June 6, 1924, the daughter of the late George and Lois (Roosevelt) Frasier.
Nellie worked at the Canajoharie School District as a matron and in the food service department.
She married George Grandy on November 25, 1944. Together they shared 58 years in marriage until he passed away in 2002.
She is survived by a daughter, Lynn Grandy Butler and her husband Gary of Fonda; a sister, Abbie Frasier of Johnstown; and a brother, John Frasier of Broadalbin. She is also survived by a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Charles and Evelyn Grandy of Canajoharie; and a niece, Linda Tangen and her husband Tim of Sprakers.
She is predeceased by her brothers, Oswald, Miles and Allie Frasier; and her sisters, Susan Danylak, Jessica Sleezer, Isabell White, Mary Therrien, Mildred Sleezer and Florence Simonds.
The lady, Nellie Frasier Grandy was my mom. With stature and inspiration she portrayed what God spoke of as a fine woman. She taught with a stern hand and followed with loving arms. Our life on the farm was indeed a wholesome time of learning and portraying responsibilities as a child. My childhood memories will always be energizing in my heart. Our families worked together to make a success of our farm and home. With my uncle, Charles Grandy and his wife Evelyn (my second set of parents) and cousin Linda Grandy Tangen, we continued to strive to produce the results of what God expected as a Christian family. My mom was acknowledged as the cook on the farm. Her efforts and success were known through the family, church and school. Getting off the bus as a child, the smell of chocolate chip cookies would welcome my cousin and I as we entered the kitchen. Nellie Grandy seemed to be able to conquer a variety of responsibilities and succeeded in all of them. I will always remember her baking in our farm kitchen, dressed appropriately with her long bibbed apron tied professionally in the back and hair covered precisely with a hairnet.
With the many memories of my mom and dad, I will continue to guide myself along my life with the Godly instruction and direction that they gave me as a child and adult. A peace that comforts me are my memories that will continue as I think of them both in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. They will be in my mind and my heart for as long as I live. Their new home in Heaven is the eternal prize that is received upon death. My parents rejoiced on this journey through life, knowing each step of the way that their Heavenly Father was watching and caring for them at the present and in the future. An earthly road that lead to a heavenly road.
Thank you God for my mom and dad. You gave me a wonderful gift to cherish the rest of my life.
Our doctor, our friend and supporter, Dr. Forlano, became our special angel sent by God. A doctor of fine qualifications and the element of patience and listening skills would accompany all of our visits. Thank you Dr. Forlano and God bless you. Also, thank you to the total group at the Amsterdam Family Practice. Each time we were always met with smiles and concern. Thank you. We are so glad that we came upon the path of meeting such special people.
A funeral service will be held Thursday, July 24, at 11 am from the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Gloversville with Pastor Peter Ellis officiating. The burial will follow in Maple Avenue Cemetery in Fultonville. The Walrath & Stewart Funeral Home in Gloversville is in charge of the arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Emmanuel Baptist Church, 12 James St., Gloversville, NY 12078, which will be given to the Missionary Pastor Howard Wynn, who is serving God in the Philippines. Pastor Wynn is a longtime friend and pastor since 1971. We were able to reunite with him and his wife on the 6th of June, my mom's birthday. Thank you God for our blessings. Contributions may also be made to the Community Hospice of Amsterdam, 246 Manny's Corner Rd., Amsterdam, NY 12010. Hospice nursed my mom like a child of their own. They truly are God's gift to humanity. With loving and most caring people, we can learn the importance of their lives and embrace the future with hope and trust.
