Beryl was born in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, where her family had a homestead. During World War II, the family relocated to Vancouver Island, where Beryl's family worked in the logging industry. Alice grew up and attended school in many BC locations, primarily Youbou and Hope where she attended Hope High School. She trained as a teacher and graduated from Vancouver Normal School in 1957 and the University of Calgary in 1978. She was a member of the Alberta Teachers Association and volunteered with various organizations. She was employed with the Calgary Public School Board from 1966-1990. Beryl married Clive Dale Frazer in 1958, and they began to raise their family at various work camps in the resource sector from Coleman, Alberta to Grand Rapids, Manitoba. In 1964, they settled in Calgary, bought a house, and raised their children.

Beryl enjoyed hockey, golf, sewing, reading, singing and dancing. She achieved many accomplishments in her life, including becoming a teacher, graduating university, becoming a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her passions were her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She took a memorable vacation to New York at the age of 60 years.

Beryl will be most remembered for her love for her mother and siblings, her husband, her children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren.
