Obituary

Bing Frazier, a beloved wife, mother, sister and respected professional, passed away on January 2, 2025 surrounded by her family and loved ones. Bing was a cornerstone of her community and an inspiration to many, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, kindness, and leadership.

Born in Cebu City, Philippines, Bing grew up in a close-knit family deeply rooted in faith. As the daughter of a pastor, she spent her early years moving across the Philippines, experiencing life in different provinces and building lasting connections wherever her family went. These experiences instilled in her a profound sense of adaptability, kindness, and unwavering faith that guided her throughout her life.

In 1981, Bing embarked on a new chapter, moving to Los Angeles, California, in pursuit of new opportunities and dreams. Her professional journey took her to Philips Electronics and Hill & Knowlton, where she was known for her strong work ethic, attention to detail, and genuine care for her colleagues.

One fateful evening, Bing’s life took a beautiful turn. The night before she was set to move to New York for a new job opportunity, she went out with a friend and met John, also known as Ben, the man who would become her life partner. Captivated by their instant connection, Bing chose to stay in Los Angeles, a decision that changed her life forever.

Bing and Ben dated for four years before getting married and, in 1992, welcomed their daughter, who became the center of their world. In 1998, with their daughter’s future in mind, they made the heartfelt decision to move to Loma Linda. There, they found a supportive community and excellent educational opportunities, creating a nurturing environment for their family to thrive.

Born with a heart for service, Bing devoted 26 years of her life to Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC), where she began her journey in 1999 in Human Resources. She played a vital role in the recruitment of non-clinical staff, bringing her compassion and professionalism to every aspect of her work. In 2000, she transitioned to the Medical Surgical Nursing department as a Data Procedures Coordinator, where she assisted in the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital project. Her role evolved as she transitioned to the Department of Case Management and then to the Office of International Affairs, where she thrived for 13 years as Program Manager.

Bing was instrumental in the growth of Loma Linda University Health’s Global Health Institute, managing the international professional development program which welcomed and developed over 3,000 international students, including doctors, nurses, and healthcare administrators. Her efforts significantly advanced global healthcare education and strengthened LLUH’s international collaborations.

Bing’s warmth, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to others will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion and service that will live on through the countless lives she touched.

Family and friends are invited to join in honoring her extraordinary journey and bidding her a heartfelt farewell. Her service will be live-streamed and recorded.

My deepest sympathies at this difficult time. I have such warm memories of Bing. I have known her for many years at Loma Linda University Medical Center and the Global Health Institute. Her kindness, helpfulness and joy were very visible. Her attention to detail and assistance with global travel as I traveled for the first time to China were so much appreciated. Over the years I enjoyed working with Bing on the placement of nurses and visitors to our hospital campus. I will miss Bing and my prayers are will all her family, friends and colleagues.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the family and friends of Bing.
I knew Bing at EVA during our high school days, having sung together with the Faith Singers. Bing was a talented and beautiful young lady when we were in high school.
However, I never knew she was living in Loma Linda and also a member of LLUC, where I volunteer for the Media, not until reading her name in our church bulletin. The last time I saw her was at EVA in the 1970’s.
After reading her obituary, I am so thrilled to know that she had lived a happy, successful, and blessed life, and with a loving and supportive family. It is my prayer that God will comfort you during your time of bereavement.
How I wish we can sing together, “No More Night…”

“The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one”.
I am so grateful to have such an amazing friend who is like a family to me. I am thankful for those precious bonds we created over time and extending them to our children.
Until we meet again, ate Bing🌹

Dearest auntie Bing, Uncle Ben, & Alexa,

We are truly sad the world lost a beautiful person. Uncle Ben, you & auntie were an awesome couple, always cheerful & funny to us & our kids. Alexa your mom was always so kind.

Our fondest memory of you auntie Bing was your kindness and cooking! When we got our first house in Redlands & hosted our first Thanksgiving, we had empty furnitures, but it didn't matter cause there were plenty of delicious meals. We were so surprised how you showed up with a bayong of bananas + big bottle of cooking oil as you wanted to make it fresh right in our kitchen! You were so gracious for every party and your cooking were always delicious but the banana fritters & tiramisu cake were our favorites! Hopefully uncle Ben & Alexa can continue making them. You were also helpful after party, manning the sink, cleaning dishes even when we try to shoo you away.

Thank you again for all your love, kindness & guidance! We'll miss you! Love, Prince, Cathy, Prandon & Gavin

You are my Jiejie, forever, BING.
Separated by thousands of miles, I was grateful to be your Meimei because of the China Project. We were the best working partners, the pillar of my heart, and the beacon of my light. You explained that the quality of a visiting itinerary determines how far a project can go;  You shared, that women, need to be strong, keep reading and learning, and master their direction;  You emphasized that besides the professional development, Mom is the core of a family, spend time with your child as they grow up;  In a conversation just six months ago, you talked about visiting various cities and projects this time was extremely rewarding.  Bing, the China Project is your pride.  
Strong, diligent, self-disciplined, and willing to help...BING, you brought me radiance and love, thank you.  I miss you.

My dear Tigay!

“Tigay” was an endearment between you and me which you started while we were still in college. That was the start of our bonding: bonded over shopping groceries, cooking, singing in the choir, chatting, etc. We shared so many things: Your mother and my mother were sisters, we went to the same University, age ( you beat me by a little over a month), our daughters are the same age too. Memories…. so many of them to recall but I’m very fortunate to have a cousin like you. Someone who was hilarious ( I still have the letter you sent me that makes me chuckle every time I read it), kind, loving, thoughtful, smart and generous. My only regret is that we allowed our busy lives to preclude us from interacting more frequently. Lesson learned. In myriad ways you have influenced me positively and I’m grateful for that. I will miss you and you will remain in my heart and mind. I love you Tigay. See you in the morning!

You’re the best mom. Your presence was big -
you were opinionated, kind, warm, funny and supportive. You would talk to strangers so easily, sharing life experiences and recipes to try. Even when you didn’t feel well throughout your treatment, you would check in on me and others who you knew were in moments of struggle. In high school, you were everyone’s 2nd mom or Auntie. Everyone wanted to be in your group when you were a chaperone on school trips. You were always on the go, planning the next dinner reservation or trip. You loved to plan events and loved eating good food at new places that you found online or watching reruns of Diners, Drive ins and Dives. You enjoyed finding new recipes to cook for us at home which you and Evan bonded over. You loved to travel and experience new cities and cultures but most importantly, you just loved being wherever we were. You were everything, to everyone, all at once. You gave me a lifetime of love in the 32 years we shared together, I just wish we had more time. There will be a missing piece of my heart forever, but I will hold onto seeing you again one day. Until then, I hope you’re sitting on the beach enjoying some sunshine. I’ll love you forever.

Mahal,
You've always been my sunshine, there's never been a cloudy day. If someone asked me what was the best thing in my life, It was simply looking at you. I'm sad you're gone but I'm glad you're no longer in pain. I'm happy you're with Jesus. Thank you for the wonderful 32 years of marriage and 36 years of friendship. I would do it all over again with no hesitation. Your soulmate Ben.
