Obituary of Lillian A. Rivas-Frazier

Lillian A. Rivas-Frazier, 71, of Baltimore MD died Sunday, April 19th, 2015 at home. Born in Bridgeton, she was the daughter of the late Angel Quinones and Lillian Lloyd Quinones and was the wife of the late Jerry Frazier. She was predeceased by a brother; Arthur, and two sisters; Mary and Barbara. Early on in life she was blessed to find her soul mate, Jerry, and together they built their dream home and expanded their family. They created J&L Trucking, Inc., a successful dump truck company. It was during this time that Lillian and Jerry met Casic Cotton and made a lifelong friendship. Lillian continued to operate the trucking business for ten years following the death of her husband in 1991. She then went on to have a successful career with the Federal Government, a career that would last twenty-seven years and introduce her to her best friend Mike Foley. Lillian also spent twenty-three years with the Federal Government as a contractor and ten years at Trailways. She was a hard working woman but played just as hard. Lillian liked to cruises with her friends and her granddaughter Kirra, and also loved going to the casinos with friends and coworkers. Friends and family say that Lillian had a way of showing that anything was possible if you believe in yourself and are surrounded by good friends and family. “Although we mourn her passing, we celebrate her life because it was truly blessed and extraordinary.” Lillian is survived by her son Tonin Rodriguez and his wife Elevena; a granddaughter, Kirra Rodriguez; and a great grandson, Dimitris; eight brothers: John, Tony, Fredrick, Bill, Gary, Michael, Angelo and Roberto; four sisters: Carol, Rosita, Anna and Dorie; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Funeral services will be held at the PADGETT FUNERAL HOME, 1107 State Highway #77, Upper Deerfield Township on Saturday, April 25th at 11AM. Friends will be received at the funeral home from 9-11AM. Interment will take place at Gouldtown Memorial Park in Fairfield Twp. Written condolences may be sent to the family at www.padgettfuneralhomes.com
