Carol Ann Alexander, of Winona Lake, passed away at her Grace Village home on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023, at the age of 89.

Born on Oct. 24, 1933, in Pittsburgh, Pa., Carol was the only child of Richard and Mabel Yost Bonner.

On Aug. 7, 1953, in her hometown of Pittsburgh, she and John “Jack” Alexander were married and spent 60 blessed years together. In 1971, they moved their family to Kosciusko County, where they remained.  

Carol was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Warsaw where she taught Sunday school, was named Volunteer of the Year at Grace Village and a proud member of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians. She enjoyed crafts, known to most as “Crafty Carol” and getting lost in a good book. Carol raised eight of her own children and cared for numerous more in the community. She let her faith guide her daily travels proving love and kindness brings joy and happiness. Carol will always be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.  Carol gave the very best hugs!

Those who will miss her and hold special memories close to their hearts include four daughters: Joyce Price, Judith (Mike) Wilson, Janice (Mark) Fife, Joan (Tom) Anderson; four sons: Jay (Jeanett) Alexander, Jeffrey (Gayle) Alexander, Jim (Wendy) Alexander and John (Char) Alexander; 21 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren with one on the way in July; brother-in-law, Rev. Robert (Gail) Alexander; and one niece and three nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack; parents; and son-in-law, Harry Price.
