Rhonda Fleming Frazier

Rhonda Fleming Frazier, beloved wife, mother, sister and friend, passed away on September 6th, 2025, at her home in Huntersville, N.C, after suffering a heart attack as she slept. She was 60 years young.

Born on October 28, 1964, in Miami, Florida, she was the fourth of six children born to Louie Frank Fleming and Irene Scott Fleming. She was always, in her beloved mother’s words, a “go getter.” The signs were there early. Once, as a thirsty toddler, she ordered her mom to “Gimme that ba-ba!” In 1982, Rhonda graduated from Miami Springs Senior High School. After moving to Asheville, N.C., she worked as an advertising account representative for the Asheville Citizen-Times newspaper. She earned her family’s first college degree – a Bachelor’s from Montreat College – while working full-time and raising her beloved son, Reggie.

Later moving to the Charlotte area, she enjoyed a long career as a tech recruiter for several firms, applying that “go-getter” determination, smooth people skills and warm, wise counsel to help job-seekers and hiring managers find their perfect match.

She found her own when she met Eric Frazier. He was an unlikely suitor – a divorced dad with two young daughters at home. She’d been through divorce too, though; she gave him a chance. They exchanged messages, then phone calls. Her voice – a warm, smoky near-purr from deep in her throat – mesmerized him. The conversations flowed easily, but she could’ve been reciting nursery rhymes for all he cared. He had to meet her. He first laid eyes on her walking toward him on Tryon Street in uptown Charlotte, a trim silhouette in a dark blue denim A-line shirtdress cinched at the waist, collar popped, hands in pockets … He inhaled a deep breath, exhaled, and knew.

They married on Nov. 19, 2011. She curated a happy home, supplying everything from tasteful home furnishings to insightful advice and guidance to her step-daughters, who instantly adored her.

She was both tough and tender. Quiet, but rarely, if ever, shy. She loved fine food, fashions and décor, yet was entirely unpretentious. She moved through daily life and work as a sober, systems-thinking planner. But that didn’t preclude her impromptu Beyonce song-and-dance acts in the kitchen, or keep her from blurting random jokes, meme quips and comic nonsense from out of nowhere, complete with screwball Lucille Ball-style facial expressions. She made her husband laugh every day.

In the home furnishings and clothing stores where she loved to shop, other women constantly lobbed unsolicited compliments. Be it the outfit she wore, the purse she carried or the throw pillows in her hand – if she’d picked it, they loved it. She’d share décor tips and a laugh, leaving them with a “wish she was my friend” twinkle in their eyes as they bid her goodbye. “Rhonda Magic,” her husband called it. She made life richer and sweeter, like the body butters and perfumes she collected. She was preparing to launch her own line of artisanal products when eternity interrupted.

Rhonda was preceded in death by her parents and a sibling, Michael Fleming.

She is deeply missed by her loving husband, Eric Frazier, of Huntersville, N.C., with whom she shared nearly 14 years of marriage, as well as her son, Reggie Sullivan, of Greensboro, N.C., and her step-daughters, Candace and Elise Frazier, of Charlotte, N.C., and her stepmother, Carolyn Frazier of Walterboro, S.C., and a host of in-laws.

She is also grieved deeply by her siblings: Glenda Singleton of Lake Placid, Florida; Marty Fleming of Miami, Florida; Bernard Fleming (Dawn) of Lauderhill, Florida; and Lillian Leacock (Dely), of Miami, Florida, as well as a host of extended family, in-laws and friends whose lives she enriched with her warmth and laughter.

Her memories will forever be cherished by all fortunate enough to have known her. She always sought and cherished beauty in the world. We found it, in purest form, in her.

The community is invited to celebrate Rhonda’s life at the Raymer-Kepner Chapel in Huntersville, N.C. The visitation will occur on September 20, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM, followed by her funeral service from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. A repass will be held from 4:00P.M to 5:00PM. The family invites all to share food and memories during this time.

Burial will take place on September 23, 2025, in Miami, Florida.
