Kaylene Rae Alexander, aged 30, passed away on July 21, 2024, in Grand Island, Nebraska. Born on September 22, 1993, in Hastings, Nebraska, she was a cherished member of her family and friends.

Kaylene was a devoted mother to her son, Jeremiah, who was her greatest joy and accomplishment. She embraced life with passion, engaging in activities such as disc golf, drawing, boating, swimming, and playing cornhole. Kaylene also had a love for horse riding and roping, which she enjoyed with her family in Oklahoma. Her artistic talents were evident in her drawings, capturing the beauty of her experiences and surroundings.

Throughout her life, Kaylene showed immense strength and determination, especially during her battle with metastatic breast cancer. Her courage and resilience were an inspiration to many, often more than she realized. She was a supportive figure, celebrating the achievements of her friends and family and taking pride in her role as an aunt to many nieces and nephews: Mateo, Jaxen, Parker of Grand Island NE, Tensley & Axtyn Alexander of Cordell OK, Maverick, Kase & WesLynn of Orlando OK.
