Loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend, Amy Sue McHorse Frazier passed away in San Angelo on August 18, 2024 at age 62. She was born January 26, 1962 in Menard, TX; when Joan and Slim had no baby name picked out, Dr Westphal suggested his wife’s name - and so she was named Amy.
Raised in Menard, Amy was a member of MHS Class of ‘80. She married Stanley Frazier on March 27, 1981, and she, Stanley and Sid welcomed Brent in December.
Amy worked as dispatcher for the sheriff’s office before obtaining her EMT certification. She worked for and later was director of Menard EMS as EMT and Paramedic for 34 years.
Amy was preceded in death by Stanley, her parents, daughter Catherine Edwards and other family and friends.
She is survived by Brent and Wendy Frazier, Sid and Yuko Frazier, her beloved grandchildren Ellison, Emersyn, Issey, Sean, Keleigh, Chloe, Chrissy and Katey and great-grandchildren Paizlee and Alana.
Her siblings are Connie Weant, Mike and Denise McHorse, Sharon and Bobby Halfmann, Karen and Reed Wilson, and Scott and Angie McHorse. Amy leaves many beloved nieces and nephews in the McHorse and Frazier families, many cousins and numerous close friends.
Amy was proud of Brent, Wendy and their family and she enjoyed attending sporting events to see her granddaughters play softball and basketball. She was delighted recently to be present when Brent was sworn in as Sheriff of Concho County. Amy was very proud of Sid’s success in his military and post-military career, Yuko’s achievements and their family’s accomplishments. A cancer survivor herself, she was thrilled when she learned that Sid’s battle with cancer was also successful. She often bragged to her friends about all of her family and was a very proud “Mimi.”
In 2001, Amy, Stanley, Connie and several animal advocates started an animal rescue they named Critter Shack. Her love of animals lasted her entire lifetime - her passing leaves a void in the world of rescue and in the hearts of her much-loved rescue family. Her efforts to save animals allowed this small-town girl who had never been to another state to travel to 44 states and several Canadian provinces. Her favorite destinations included New York City, Nashville, Memphis, Niagara Falls, Washington DC, Atlanta, New Brunswick and Branson and she loved to tell stories of her travels.
Amy loved her family and friends, her pets, and fishing. We can just see her, sitting beside Stanley on a riverbank, both holding a cane pole, surrounded by loved ones - including pets, of course - healthy once again and at peace.
In lieu of flowers, Amy’s family asks for memorials to Critter Shack, PO Box 192, Wall, TX 76957 or donate option at crittershack.org
A memorial service is planned for 10:00 Saturday, September 21 at First Baptist Church, 101 Burleson Street, Eden TX. Please join us to celebrate Amy’s life.
