Laguna Beach Journalist Cindy Frazier Dies

The Coastline Pilot announced today that city editor Cindy Frazier passed away this morning, Wednesday, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 60.

"Cindy was fiercely loyal to Laguna Beach," said Times Community News South editor John Canalis, in a story posted today on the paper's website. "She championed her staff, freelancers and columnists and took great pride in serving as a community editor. Our entire staff is grieving today."
