Mater Alexander Obituary
Mater Lee Alexander, 69, was born in Columbus, Ohio to Jamie Lee, Sr. and Helen Thomas on May 20, 1951. Mater was called home to be with her Heavenly Father on September 14, 2020 after a valiant battle with liver disease and ultimately heart failure due to pneumonia. Her devotion to family, friends and her firm belief in God supported her in her struggle and ultimately gave her peace. Mater had a smile that would light up a room. Even during her last days, she would show that smile and we knew that she was at peace. She will be dearly missed by her loved ones, who celebrate the fact that she is at peace with her Heavenly Father. Preceded in death by her parents Jamie L. Sr. and Helen Thomas, she leaves to cherish her memory her sons, Nathaniel IV (Ronnea) Alexander, Eric (Jenifer) Alexander; eight grandchildren, Sierra Bauman, Grace Alexander, Kayla Hudson, Nathaniel Alexander V, Aliyah Alexander, Dylan Alexander, Bresais Alexander and Cadence Alexander; sisters, Gloria Powell, Essie M. White, YeVette Scott, Angela M. Thomas; brothers, Jamie L. Thomas Jr. and Ronnie W. Thomas; close niece and nephew who were more like her children, Ebony Thomas and Marcus Thomas, a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. How blessed we are to call her our own. Now joined with that Great Cloud of Witnesses, she waits for us in Glory. Visitation 11AM and Funeral Service 12PM Thursday, September 24, 2020, at Ephesus Seventh-day Adventist Church, 3650 Sunbury Rd, Columbus, OH 43219. Mask and Social Distancing are required. Interment to follow at Green Lawn Cemetery.

I met Mater when she, my husband and I worked for the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. She was a regular participant in our lunchtime Bible study and she came to our worship community and I had the opportunity to participate in a program she hosted for hers. We will greatly miss her. May her name be for a blessing to all who loved her.
My prayers are with the family that they may have the peace of God and confidence that they will see dear Mater again.

Your family are in my thoughts & prayers at this difficult time. Heaven has most certainly gained an angel. Mater and I worked together for many years at CORI Care. She was a soft spoken ray of sunshine who always presented with a smile. She took great pride in caring for others. She will be missed by many!

To the Family of Mater Thomas-Alexander,
You Are All In Our Prayers. May God Give You Peace, Comfort, And Strength.
Of course, I am saddened by the news of Mater's passing. We were just comparing notes about our respective Autobiographies in August. As neighbors, back in the day, we had a lot of stories to reminisce about. Yes, she will be missed however her legacy and memories will be strong and lasting.
