You think you know the family, and then it takes an obituary to find out your great aunt's first name. Marge was a fun lady to be around, just to listen to her voice and her laugh. Living her whole life in So Cal, she still had an almost oriental sounding voice with the words coming from way back in her mouth, and she also sounded a bit Canadian because many of her sentances ended at a higher pitch, like she was asking a lot of questions instead of making statements.
"J.D. you don't put your fingers in that frosting, eh" with the emphasis on "frosting, eh." So me, being an evil-minded six-year-old would think, "It's not the putting my fingers in the food that was bad, it was just the frosting she was trying to protect. "Let's try the pudding."
Caroline "Marge" Frazee passed away Sunday, December 15, [2002] at her home with her family by her side. Born April 6, 1922, she lived her entire life in Carlsbad and Oceanside. She was a graduate of Oceanside-Carlsbad High School, Class of 1941. Her prime interest in life was her family.
