Caroline Ann Alexander, of Dixon, was born on March 25, 1926, at Mexico, Missouri, a daughter of Melvin Harrison and Pearl Jane (Mellinger) Amick, and departed this life at 9:05 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, 2019, in the Dixon Nursing and Rehab Center. She had attained the age of 93 years, 1 month, and 17 days

Caroline was united in marriage on February 4, 1942, at Vienna, to Winston Willard Alexander, and to this union, three children were born.

She was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church, Dixon, where she attended as long as her health permitted, she was a member of Garnet Chapter No. 283 Order of the Eastern Star, Dixon, and a member of the Ladies Bridge Club of the Oak Hills Country Club.  During her working life she was the secretary for the superintendent of the Dixon R-1 Schools System, owner and operator of a dress shop, assisted her husband with the operating of Alexander Tire for over twenty years, and she and Gail Cain were the co-owners and operators of Grandma's Daisy Patch for approximately nine years, all of Dixon.  Caroline loved visiting with family and friends and was ready with coffee and a treat when anyone came to visit.  She was a devoted housewife and homemaker, always diligent in providing for the care and needs of her family.
