Pat Berry Fraze was an actress. Appearing in advertising, Pat was a comfortable, familiar face. She acted on stage, on TV, and in indie films.  She is known locally for her role as Shirley Valentine and Actors Movable Theater Performances. She and her husband met doing summer stock. Their lives focused on Theater and family.

Pat Fraze is remembered as Girl Scout Leader and Trainer. She and Anne Stimmel organized and ran the Black Diamond Girl Scout Council COSI camp-in event. A collector, Pat knew glass artists, craftsmen, and glass factories in the Ohio Valley. She loved to travel. As her children will attest, Mrs. Fraze visit every available museum, gallery, performance, national park, and historical site during those trips.

As with most actors, Pat Fraze worked at many jobs other than acting. She was a Substitute teacher, a Homebound-Student teacher, and a teacher at Nelsonville York High School.  Pat work at Ohio University office of workshop, conference, and institutes as Coordinator and then Acting Director.
