of Conway, AR
March 8, 1925 - February 13, 2017
Betty Fraser, 91, of Conway went to be with the Lord she loved on February 13,
2017.
She was married to the late Edward E. Fraser (Turp). She worked at Hendrix College and was Executive Secretary at Nabholz Companies for more than 20 years.

She had a wonderful sense of humor!

Miss Betty was a true southern lady. We all loved reading her poetry. Miss Polly and her always had a few jokes to share! I know she will be missed by all of her family and friends but what great memories she leaves behind.
Peace and Love
