James Alexander Obituary
James was a great man of faith. He loved to testify about the grace of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was a member of Sherman Baptist Church where he was a Sunday School teacher and thoroughly enjoyed studying his Bible to grow in his faith. He loved working in his yard and self-taught himself to repair lawn mowers.
A service to celebrate James's life will be held at 2 PM Wednesday, March 26, 2025 in the Sadie M. Holland Memorial Chapel with Bro. Mike Brazile and Bro. Bert Harper officiating. Visitation will be from 12 PM until service time Wednesday at Holland Funeral Directors-Tupelo. For those unable to attend the service will be live streamed and can be viewed at www.hollandfuneraldirectors.com/live-streaming and archived thereafter.
James is survived by his wife of 65 years, Iris Alexander; son, Kenny Alexander of Sherman; sisters, Sybil Hays of Boyle, MS, and Cindy Scoggins of Bossier City, LA; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Lisa Caron Alexander; brothers, Calvin Alexander, Alvin "Bud" Alexander, and Lonnie Alexander; sister, Sarah Elaine Alexander; and daughter-in-law, Charlotte Alexander.
Holland Funeral Directors is honored to serve the family.
