Carol A. Alexander

Carol Ann Alexander, 89, Winona Lake, died Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023, at her Grace Village home in Winona Lake. She was born Oct. 24, 1933, in Pittsburgh, Pa. Carol was the only child of Richard and Mabel (Yost) Bonner.

On Aug. 7, 1953, in her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa., she and John “Jack” Alexander were married and spent 60 blessed years together. In 1971, they moved their family to Kosciusko County, where they remained.

Carol was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Warsaw where she taught Sunday school, was named Volunteer of the Year at Grace Village and was a proud member of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians. She enjoyed crafts, known to most as “Crafty Carol,” and she loved getting lost in a good book. Carol raised eight of her own children and cared for numerous more in the community. She let her faith guide her daily travels, proving love and kindness brings joy and happiness. Carol will always be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Carol gave the very best hugs!
