Heaven received a beautiful angel when Jesus called Lillie Mae Alexander home on Monday, Jan. 4, 2010. She was living at home with her family in Corpus Christi. She was born in Birmingham, Ala. on July 3, 1933. After 21 years of service for AT&T, she retired in 1994. She was by far the world's greatest wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lother and Minnie Pearl Burnham; her husband, John "Fritz" Alexander; two sons, Jerry Brasher and Donnie Brasher; one great-granddaughter, Hope Brasher; and two sisters, Frances Taylor and Ida Cleckler.

She is survived by one son, Terry Brasher, and one daughter, Renee Cuddihy, both of Corpus Christi; 10 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and one sister, Elizabeth Fowler of Birmingham, Ala.

Visitation will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. today, Jan. 7 at Freund Funeral Home in Cuero. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Jan. 8 at Freund Funeral Home with burial following at the Alexander Cemetery in Stratton. Bro. Bill Walden will be officiating the services.

Words cannot express the loss we all feel without her home with us. She will be missed dearly, yet loved forever.
