Her many interests included: the opera, the symphony, gardening, travelling, political science courses, as well as serving as advisor on many community organizations, such as the United Way. She was always available for anyone in need and cared for many of her friends and neighbours over the years. We will all miss her.

I knew Alex when we were students at the U of M Nursing school. She was RN student getting her Bachelor's degree; I was a four year student at the same school. When she was struggling with Chemistry, I provided some tutoring to her. She was indeed vibrant, very high energy, and a woman of strong character. I always remembered her with fondness and admiration. I was thinking of her recently and decided to look her up and found her obituary. Please know that I send sympathy and condolences so long after her death but wanted to send my thoughts to you. - Posted by: Marcia Hoch (School friend) on: Jul 30, 2021
