The congregation of Bridgewater United Church would like to send our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Wendy Jean Fraser, who passed away on December 16, 2022, after a brief stay in hospital with her family by her side.
Wendy was a member of Bridgewater United Church and was the Organist and Choir Director for 39+ years, just retiring in 2021, with the congregation of Bridgewater United Church. Wendy always had a story to tell, a laugh to share with you or a song in her heart to sing. She created a beautiful Music Ministry at Bridgewater United, that produced choirs of both young and old. If she wasn't highlighting her strong Christian Faith through words and song, she could be found taking drives in her little red convertible with her best friend and husband, Peter, and sharing those fun stories of the "wind in her hair," with others. Our Church Community will miss her kindness, her eagerness to lead a song, her love of Irish heritage, her love of travel and the stories that followed and her overall gentle nature and love of family.
We send our thoughts and prayers to her husband Peter; children, Simon, Stephanie and Samantha and her siblings, Tommy and Sandra and their families, know that you are well loved by your Bridgewater United Church Community.
Visitation will be on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, 6-8 p.m. in the Sanctuary of Bridgewater United Church, 87 Hillcrest Street, Bridgewater. The Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, January 7, 1 p.m. in Bridgewater United Church, 87 Hillcrest Street, Bridgewater. Reception to follow. Interment for family only at Brookside Cemetery, Bridgewater.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to Heart and Stroke Foundation, Bridgewater United Church, South Shore Regional Hospital or Berwick United Church Camp.
