Arvonne Fraser

• 

Fraser, Arvonne Feminist, ambassador, author, wife of Don Fraser, sister of Bonnie Skelton, mother of Tom, Mary, John, Lois, Anne and Jean, grandmother of seven grandchildren, and friend, mentor and teacher to so many, died on August 7 at our St. Croix River house at the age of 92. The Minneapolis Star Tribune and the New York Times wrote wonderful obituaries. If you want to honor Arvonne, please don't send flowers or cards. Instead, go out and organize for a cause, donate to and volunteer for candidates, read the news and talk to your family, friends, neighbors and elected officials about important issues. Arvonne loved a party and wanted us to have one when she died. Please join us to celebrate her life on August 30, 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the Nicollet Island Pavilion, 40 Powers Street, Minneapolis. You may also share stories and pictures on her memorial website. Arvonne would also be pleased if you help young women and men pursuing policy change by donating to the University of Minnesota Foundation - Humphrey School Arvonne Fraser Fund, P.O. Box 860266, Mpls, MN 55486, or Emily's List, 1800 M St NW, Ste 375N, Washington, DC 20036.
