Betty Alexander

Ms. Betty “BB” Jones Alexander, 83, of Greenville, South Carolina, passed away on Saturday, September 28, 2019, at Prisma Health. She was a daughter of the late James Otis and Alma Snead Jones.

She was reared in the Washington Heights Community and was a 1956 graduate of Sterling High School.

She was preceded in death by two sisters, Ruth Jones Jackson and Imogene Williams; and a brother, Thomas Jones, Sr.

Those who will recall Betty will remember her years of being a machine operator, traveling the world, being a devoted military wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and cousin, always bringing light into the world with her beautiful smile.

She was married to the late Leroy Alexander, Sr., and into this union two children were born.

Left to cherish many fond and loving memories are a daughter, Elizabeth Alexander of Columbia; a son, Leroy Alexander, Jr., of Greenville; two sisters, Charity Jones of Greenville, and Gracie Morris of Fountain Inn; one brother, James Jones of New York; two grandchildren, Justin and Ethan Alexander of Columbia; a devoted cousin, Doris Brown of Simpsonville; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Betty will be forever loved and missed. Continue to lift us up in prayer during this time.
