Mrs. Mary Loretta Alexander, of Croswell, Michigan, was united with her Lord and Savior on the evening of August 18, 2015, after a courageous battle with cancer and finally, at the age of 70 years 7 months and 30 days, heard the words she longed to hear "well done, good and faithful servant".
She was not only a faithful follower of Christ, but also a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

They followed the Lord together on life's many journeys and just recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with their children and grandchildren at their home.
Besides being a wonderful homemaker, she was a longtime member and secretary at the Bethel Missionary Church, Yale, and enjoyed gardening, baking, reading, visiting family, and attending her grandchildren's sporting events.
