Mrs. Jodean White Alexander

Jodean White Alexander, 92, of Tamassee, South Carolina, passed away on July 28, 2025. A native and lifelong resident of the Cheohee Valley Community, Mrs. Alexander was the beloved wife of the late Marvin "Quimby" Alexander. She was a devoted and faithful member of Cheohee Baptist Church, where she spent many years pouring her heart into caring for the children and youth. One of her greatest joys was preparing breakfast for the youth of the church and the wider community-serving with love, and creating a space where everyone felt welcomed and cared for. Jodean loved life, and she loved people. Her kindness was most often expressed through time spent visiting with others and through the meals she lovingly prepared. She was especially known for her cakes-each one a labor of love and a symbol of her generosity. She found peace and beauty in tending her flower garden and took pride in the blooms that brightened her yard and spirit. A proud and active member of the Eastern Star, she lived a life rooted in faith, service, and unwavering love for those around her.
