After an abrupt and unexpected issue with her heart on June 9th, and almost three long weeks on life support in the hospital, Catherine “Cat” Frazier passed away on June 29th, 2026 in Oakland, California. She was 35 years old.

In those 35 years, she quietly collected many accomplishments, including graduating from Pratt Institute, leading social media teams, running her own hotline called "Ask Cat," and hosting her own show called "Memesplaining" on Super Deluxe where she brought her Tumblr @animatedtext to life. Over the course of more than a decade she continued to grow Animated Text by building social presences at @itsanimatedtext and Gifimages Text and by expanding into custom GIFs as well as branded merchandise and prints. She freelanced and consulted with major corporations like Verizon, Nike, Tumblr, and Google, ending her life as a full-time instructional writer at PG&E. In addition to her role at PG&E, Cat spent her final years running an organization focused on social activism and planning community events in the Bay area.

But it was her quick, unique wit and kind, wild heart that made her truly special. She was able to relate to anyone and everyone, making people feel included and inspiring people to accomplish hard things cause her idealism and bravery were contagious. Her creativity, sense of art and humor, as well as her gravitating personality enabled her to build community wherever she went, breaking down walls and crossing silos to bring people and ideas together.

Catherine was a giver and carer. She gave her all to try to make communities better through dedication and passion and to give people inspiration and hope through laughter. She always tried, and often did, carry the weight of others on her back. Unfortunately in her final years, people around her took advantage of her vision, generous heart, and self-less efforts. Even after her death, everything she had is to the benefit of others, and her estate is not able to cover the celebrations of her life. Please support us in giving Catherine the home-going she deserves.

We would like for Catherine to be inurned in a columbarium and be laid to rest in a peaceful and permanent place where loved ones and friends can visit. If you'd like to support us, please donate. All donations will go towards helping with funeral expenses, including the cost of the niche, inurnment, and memorial service.

*Niches vary in cost. At the facilities we have priced, available individual niches ranged from 10,000-30,000+ (niche only) depending on location, level, material, etc. We would like to get the best niche we can for Cat given the circumstances. We have now priced a lower mid-cost niche for Cat. That niche, permanent urn, inurnment, and memorial/celebration of life totals to around a little over 20, 750. Donations will not close until October 18th. We appreciate your continued support. Thank you for making a difference.*

Service is October 17, 2026
