Sylvia Goolsby Frazier

Sylvia Goolsby Frazier (83) of Lake City, FL passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 in Lake City. She was born on September 4, 1942 in Fayetteville, Georgia to the late George Edwin and Margaret Cannon Goolsby. Sylvia grew up in Lavonia, Georgia where she graduated high school and went on to study at the University of Georgia. Her favorite class was Home Economics. She was married to Charlie Brown for 26 years. During that time, she worked diligently, providing a stable home and wonderful upbringing for her three children. The second half of her life, she was married to William Frazier for 28 years. Sylvia devoted her life to serving God and loving her family. She lived out the Gospel through daily acts of kindness and hospitality. She enjoyed retirement, which included being a Master Gardener, decorating, Facebook posting, raising chickens and Koi fish, loving her grandchildren, slipping $20 dollar bills to anyone she could find, volunteering at the Veterans Domiciliary, traveling to North Georgia to visit her family, and never meeting a stranger. One of her favorite sayings was, “gather friends like flowers”, and that she did. While we grieve her passing, we take comfort in knowing she is resting peacefully in the Lord.

Survivors include her children, Chuck Brown (Afton), David Brown (Amy), and Libby Moore (Joe); two sisters, Barbara Payne and Edwina O’Neal; one brother, Douglas Goolsby; grandchildren, Joseph Moore, Joanna Ward, Amanda Cason, Charleigh Brown, Luci Brown and Linus Brown; great grandchildren, Lennon Cason and Carter Cason.

A memorial service will be conducted on Friday, August 14, 2026 at 3:00 PM in the Gateway-Forest Lawn Memorial Chapel. Visitation with the family will be one hour prior to the service from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
