Our family lived across the street from the Alexanders, and they were great neighbors. In later years, Earlene showed great kindness and concern for our dad.

Earlene was one of the first people I worked with in 1993 at Mercy in Medical Records. She was a very sweet and caring woman. Condolences to her family. May she rest in peace.

Earlene was a truly remarkable woman, radiating beauty both inside and out. Her unwavering kindness and patience towards us kids will remain etched in my heart. I can still picture her infectious laughter, probably sparked by the antics we got up to. I will miss her immensely.
