Agatha Fraser

Agatha Fraser, 92, of Lithonia, Georgia, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Agatha was born on September 21, 1932, in Georgetown, Guyana to Catherine and Damon Morrison. Agatha married Berkley Fraser, and together they raised five beautiful children: Colin, Compton, Dennis, Andrea, and Carolyn. In Georgetown, she grew to be one of the city’s most talented seamstresses, renowned for her impeccable sense of style and skill. Agatha had an extraordinary ability to look at someone, know their size, and create stunning garments that became the epitome of fashion in Georgetown. In 1970, Agatha left Georgetown and journeyed to New York in search of a better life for her children. She brought her passion for fashion with her and worked tirelessly as a domestic worker, demonstrating the values of hard work and sacrifice that paved the way for her family’s success. Her dedication to family and education extended to many others as her home served as a welcoming haven for relatives and friends arriving in the U.S. She opened her home, provided a place to stay, and ensured everyone was well cared for.
