Walterine Fraser Hall 101, passed away peacefully at home on April 12, 2021 with her loving family at her bedside. She was born in Guyana, South America on March 27, 1920 to the late Malcolm Fraser Snr. known as Pa & Princess McKenzie Fraser. In Guyana she enjoyed her position of working with the nuns at the Convent of the Good Shepherd. She migrated to the U.S.A in 1974 and worked in the field of nutrition at Eden Park Nursing Home subsequent to her retirement.

She was an active member of the Black Catholic Apostolate for the past 35 years where her special seat always awaited her presence at St. Joan of Arc.
