TINA ALEXANDER-Mace Obituary


Our beloved Tina Marie Alexander, born August 21, 1969 in Santa Barbara, CA, died unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm in La Grande, OR, on January 10, 2013. She was a cherished mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her daughter Brooke was the absolute light of her life and her reason for being. She will be greatly missed by all.

Tina was a long time Kennewick resident. She graduated from River View High School in Finley, WA, class of 1987. She was a licensed insurance office representative for over 20 years, most recently with State Farm Insurance.

Tina is survived by daughter Brooke L. Burdett, stepsons Brandon and Bryce Burdett, parents Steve & SuAnn O'Hair and sister Bernadine Whitworth. She was preceded in death by her father Gary L. Alexander.

Per Tina's request there will be no service. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday January 19, 2013 starting at 1:00 p.m. It will be at the Finley Grange, 223005 E. Main St. Finley (Kennewick) WA. All those who knew and loved Tina are invited to attend and share their memories with family and friends.

Tina's favorite quote was "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters.....compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
