ROSE MARIE ALEXANDER
11/23/1929 – 11/09/1965
Rose Marie Alexander was born Rose Marie Brown on November 23, 1929, to Bertha
Mary Taylor and Raymond Charles Brown, at her maternal grandmother’s, Levenia
White, home in Meeker, LA.  Her parents, Bertha and Raymond were not married,
but shared the responsibility of raising Rose along with Bertha's first born
son, James (Jimmy) Lee Pugh.  Bertha and Raymond were Catholics and raised
Rose in the Catholic faith.

Bertha moved her family from Alexandria, LA to Houston, TX in 1935, when Rose
was five yrs. old, and then to Los Angeles, CA in 1940 when Rose was 11.  Rose
grew into adulthood in Los Angeles, and met and married Wilbert Leroy Daniel
in 1946 when she was 16 yrs. old.  From this union came three children before
divorcing in 1951.  In 1953, Rose met and married Mitchell Alexander, in Los
Angeles, CA, and from this union came three more children.

Rose died at 1:00 am on Monday, November 9, 1965, from injuries she received
when the car she and her family were riding in was involved in a collision on
the Nimitz Freeway in Oakland, CA Sunday night.  The accident occurred when
the car, driven by her husband, Mitchell Alexander, Jr., skidded on wet
pavement and crashed into another car.  While her family suffered only minor
injuries, Rose sustained fatal injuries which led to her death.

Rose, a native of Louisiana, had been a Richmond, CA resident for a year and a
half.  Besides her husband Mitchell, she is survived by six children: Mrs.
Shirley Faye Compton, Mr. Wilbert Leroy Daniel, Jr., and Miss Sandra Marie
Daniel all of Los Angeles; the Misses Michelle Rena Alexander, Alexis Rose
Alexander, and Mr. Mitchell Alexander, III all of Richmond, CA.  Rose is also
survived by her father, Raymond Charles Brown of Chicago, IL, her mother, Mrs.
Bertha Mary Montague of Los Angeles, one brother, Jimmy Lee Pugh, of Los
Angeles, CA, two grand children, and a host of loving relatives and friends.


Additional Comments:
Arrangements for Rose's final rites and Northern California family viewing
were made by the Rose Manor Chapel and Funeral Home on Nevin Avenue in
Richmond, CA, before her larger family funeral was held on November 14, 1965,
in Los Angeles, CA at the Angelus Funeral Home.  Rose was cremated and her
remains are in the Mausoleum at Evergreen Cemetery 204 North Evergreen Avenue,
Los Angeles, CA 90033-3654.
