Mrs. Rose Alexander, age 84, passed away on Monday, January 27, 2025, at The Oaks Rehabilitation Center. Rose was a loving wife, mother, and friend. She was very strong-willed woman and very independent. She had many hobbies, from playing cards to bingo. If you knew Rose, you knew she loved to travel with her husband, Gary. They spent many years on vacations and cruising around the world. Besides traveling, she loved to spend time with her dog, possum, who was her very best friend. Rose was loved by many and will forever be missed.
Rose is survived by her children, Al Wise (Cindy), Scott Alexander, and Tara Boykin (Phillip); eight grandchildren, Max Wise, Erika Boykin, Nick Alexander, Dora Keith, Cody Carmichael, Erika Dotson, Dylan Boykin, and Alyssa Boykin, and; 16 great-grandchildren.
