Alexandra Ehlen Obituary
known as "Alex" or "Sanda" by friends and family, went to heaven on January 2, 2022 at the age of 64. Born on December 29, 1957 to Gerald F. Porter and Claudine O. Ghika in Mexico City, Alex moved to Tulsa, OK., to marry Corey J. Ehlen and had two children. After a brief move back to Mexico and a decade in San Diego County, CA., she moved to Tucson in 2011. In 2013 she met her companion Dennis Eyer who taught her to see the beauty of the desert. Known for her unfaltering compassion and selflessness, she saw only the best in others. Alex is survived by her two children, John Ehlen and Tiffany Avila; and her grandchildren, Helen, Iris, and Margaret Avila. Services will be held at EAST LAWN PALMS MORTUARY on Monday, February 14, 2022 at 9:00 a.m.

A great woman. Use to be my neighbor for a few years. Always such a sweetheart, and always had a smile on her face. She will be missed.

So many good memories of our friendship, that it always brings a smile when thinking of Alex. I'm thankful that I will see her on the other side, because of her love for Jesus. Praying for comfort for your family.
