Hattie Geraldine Levert Alexander was a blessing to her community and went beyond the call of
duty in caring for others. She passed away peacefully on January 13, 2025, at the age of 94. Born

graduated from Booker T. Washington Business College and furthered studies were completed
at Fenn College in Cleveland, Ohio.

On October 1, 1955, Hattie was united in holy matrimony to John P. Alexander, Sr., and to this

While in Cleveland, Hattie was employed with the City of Cleveland Health Department and Dr.
Fredrick Optical Company. In 1992, she retired as Financial Manager of Weltman, Weinberg &
Associate Company, LPA because she wanted to care for her first grandchild. She was a member
