Metropolitan Funeral Home
Selera Harris Alexander, lovingly known as “Peaches,” was born on July 13, 1945, 
and passed away peacefully on December 30, 2024, in Norfolk, Virginia.

Selera lived a vibrant and multifaceted life, embracing her faith, family, and 
passions with boundless energy. She loved God deeply and found joy in music, the 
color red, shopping, and sharing her wealth of knowledge with others.  A “Jill 
of Many Trades,” Selera had an impressive career in the medical field, serving 
in roles such as EMT, nurse, hospital administrator, and instructor. Her 
dedication to helping others extended beyond healthcare; she also worked for 
many years as a tax professional.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John Leroy Harris and Selara Brodie 
Harris; her brothers Hamin Sultan Ali, Reginald Hodges, and Leroy Harris Jr.; 
her sisters Louise Johnson, Alice Smith, and Carol Gamble; her sons Derrick 
Alexander and Kevin Bobbitt. Their memories remained close to Selera’s heart 
throughout her life.

Selera’s enduring legacy lives on through her children Elton and Kizzy Harris, 
Leander and Leitonia Harris, Selera and Odell Odom, Davida Alexander, Lakisi 
Alexander and DeJuan Brown, Heather Wilson, Kenneth and Donna Alexander; and her 
siblings Haywood Harris, Jeffrey Harris, Irvin Harris, Clarence Harris, and 
Barbara McDonald. She was blessed with over 25 grandchildren who brought immense 
joy to her life and a host of great-grandchildren who were a source of pride. 
Her extended family includes numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends 
whose lives she touched with kindness, wisdom and unwavering faith.

Selera’s life was one of love and devotion to those around her. May her memory 
be a source of comfort and inspiration to all who knew her.
