In Loving Memory of Miriam J. Fraser

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Miriam J. Fraser, who departed this life on August 31, 2025. Born on May 10, 1930, Miriam lived a remarkable 95 years, during which she touched countless hearts with her bubbly, loving, kind, and caring spirit.

She is survived by her sons, Dominick and Peter Samperi; grandsons Tommy Jr., Peter Jr., Nicolas, and Christopher Samperi; granddaughters Cynthia Samperi and Kristin Barbaria; as well as six great-grandchildren. Miriam was predeceased by her beloved husband, Arthur “Roy” Fraser; her daughter, Theresa “Terri” Ciulla; her son, Thomas Samperi; her sister, Audrey Brooks; her daughter-in-law Linda LaRocco Samperi; and her grandson Jonathan Samperi.

A funeral service celebrating Miriam’s life will be held on September 10, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Williams Funeral Home located at 5628 Broadway @ West 232nd Street Bronx, NY 10463. A mass will be held on September 11, 2025 at 10:00 AM at St. John’s Church located at 3021 Kingsbridge Avenue Bronx, NY 10463. All are welcome to attend and share their memories of her.

Miriam found joy in life’s simple pleasures—a warm cup of coffee paired with a sweet treat, watching Jeopardy! or classic films, and most of all, spending time with others. A true social butterfly, she formed many friendships through her participation in bingo, volleyball, and concerts at the nursing home where she resided for the past five years. She also loved singing and coloring.

Miriam often said that her greatest accomplishment was raising “four beautiful children.” She believed deeply in the power of love to overcome any sorrow and lived her life as a shining example of that belief.

Her legacy of warmth, resilience, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. Miriam will be deeply missed.
