Diane L. Frazer, who grew up on Old Stone Highway in Springs, died on Sept. 7 in Peoria, Ariz. She was 70 and had been ill for many years, her family said.

Born in Southampton on Dec. 24, 1949, to Ernest X. Cote and the former Eleanor Bennett, Ms. Frazer attended East Hampton High School and, as a teenager, worked at the WLNG radio station in Sag Harbor. She also worked as a medical transcriptionist. A lover of animals, sweets, and her family, she lived for the past 10 years in California and Arizona.

Two daughters, Naomi Humiston of Tracey, Calif., and Amy Frazer of Phoenix, survive, as do a sister, Elaine Gill of Peoria, and three grandchildren.
