Waco (TX) Tribune Herald  3 March 2008
Dorris Waunell Bolton Alexander, 73, left this earth and entered into heaven at 
7:05 a.m., Sunday, March 2, 2008. Services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, 
at Pecan Grove Funeral Home with Steve Bolton officiating. Burial will be at 
Waco Memorial Park Cemetery. Visitation will be 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, March 3. 
Dorris was born Aug. 8, 1934, in Corpus Christi, to Ike and Erma Bolton, 
longtime Waco residents. She grew up in Waco and attended East Waco school. She 
also attended Preston Street Christian Church and taught Sunday school as a 
teenager. She enjoyed life to the fullest and was truly a kindred spirit to 
everyone in her life. She was involved in numerous community and fraternal 
groups such as the Rebekah, Pocahontas and Pithian groups. She had many hobbies 
and found great enjoyment in collecting innumerable antiques, jewelry and 
playing bingo. Her most recent enjoyment had been her time spent at church. She 
was a devoted member of First Apostolic Church in Waco. It was in her faith 
that she found the courage to deal with the many trials and tribulations in 
recent years. Dorris was a woman of many accomplishments. However, her greatest 
accomplishment and the one that certainly meant the most to her was her family. 
On Aug. 16, 1954, she married her best friend and the love of her life, Cecil 
Alexander. She was a loving wife, devoted mother and the very best grandmother 
and great-grandmother that anyone could ask for. She was truly happy when 
surrounded by her family and numerous friends. She will always be remembered as 
a fiercely loyal wife, mother, mamaw and friend. She was preceded in death by 
her parents, Ike and Erma Bolton; brother, Richard Bolton; brother-in-law, Hike 
Roberts; and sister-in-law, Glenda Bolton. She is survived by her ever faithful 
husband, Cecil Alexander; sons, Mark Alexander and wife, Susan and Keith 
Alexander and wife, Frances; granddaughters, Jennifer Owens and husband, 
Steven, Stephanie Johnson and husband, Lance and Tiffany Alexander of 
Arlington; grandsons, Mark Alexander and Michael Alexander; great-grandson, 
Braden Owens; great-granddaughter, Cora Owens; sister, Joyce Webb; brother, 
Larry Steve Bolton and wife, Shirley of Ft. Collins, Colo.; and a host of 
friends that she considered part of her family. Pallbearers will be Mark 
Alexander Jr., Michael Alexander, Steven Owens, Lance Johnson, John Killough 
and Rick Eaton. Dorris and her family wish to thank the doctors and staff of 
Waco West Kidney Center, third floor north at Providence Hospital, St. 
Catherine's and Providence Hospice. We also wish to thank them all for making 
our family feel like a part of their family. August 8 1934 - March 2, 2008
