Shirley Ann Frazier Jones
On July 19, 1945, a beautiful baby girl was born to Gladys Frazier and she named her Shirley Ann Frazier.
Shirley was born in Minden.
Shirley met the love of her life, Clemon Jones Jr. “Sweet Red.” On Aug. 5, 1962, they were united in holy matrimony, and to this union four children were born.
She confessed Christ at an early age and united with New Light Baptist Church where she served as an usher. She later united with the Good Samaritan Missionary Baptist Church, and continued to do God’s work as an usher. Shirley was also a faithful member of OES Chapter Number 173.
She received her education from the Webster Parish School System.
Shirley was the first African American to be hired at West Gibson located in the West Plaza. She was a faithful employee for 18 years until their closure. After retiring from West Gibson, she was later employed with the Webster Parish School System. Shirley was Webster Parish Council on Aging for seven years. She always said, “forgive anyone that wronged you-do not block your blessings.”
On Jan. 18, 2016, God knew it was time for Shirley to have some peace and rest, so he called her home. Shirley is no longer with us but her love, wisdom and grace will always be present through the wonderful memories that we shared.
She was preceded in death by one son; Trovoski D. Jones, one brother, Harold Frazier.
