March 19, 1932 ~ January 23, 2026

Mary Martha (Pryor) Frazier, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away on January 23, 2026, at Covenant Living at Inverness, Tulsa OK, at the age of 93. She now joins her husband of 56 years, William (Bill) Frazier who preceded her in death in 2009. She was a proud member of the Osage Tribe, Hominy District, whose Osage name was Me-tsa-he of the Bear Clan.

Mary Martha was born in Hominy, Oklahoma on March 19th, 1932, to Alfred "Buster" Pryor, whose Osage name was Ma-u-heh, and Dallas (Christley) Pryor Kemohah. Her paternal grandparents Antwine Pryor, whose Osage name was Me-ki-wah-ti-an-kah, and Martha Pryor Oberly, whose Osage name was Hun-kah-me-tsa-he; maternal grandparents Dite and Mary Ellen Christley.

Mary Martha graduated from Hominy High School in 1950. During her high school years she was football queen in 1948, Buck Queen in 1950 and Prettiest Girl in 1948, 1949 and 1950. She attended Oklahoma College for Women at Chickasha, Oklahoma where she pledged Be Si Ta social club and attended Northeastern State College at Tahlequah, Oklahoma where she pledged Sigma Sigma Sigma social sorority.

Mary Martha and Bill were united in marriage on January 1, 1953, in Huntsville, Arkansas. They made their home in Hominy and raised their family. After Bill retired, they lived in Prattville, Oklahoma for several years. They were both active members of the First Baptist Church in downtown Tulsa. Bill was an avid golfer, and Mary Martha took up the game so they could spend time together. She got pretty good at the game practically overnight. They enjoyed their time at Tulsa Country Club and being with her family was most important, especially during the holidays.
