Life Story / Obituary
Nancy L. Alexander, age 80, passed away Wednesday March 3, 2021 at her residence.
Nancy was born in Waukesha on May 10, 1940, daughter of the late Lyal and Lillian (nee;
Manningham) Harris.
Nancy graduated from St. Luke’s School of Nursing and was employed as a labor and
delivery nurse for many years, helping introduce thousands of newborns into this world.
She absolutely loved being a nurse and inspired her son to become an obstetrician from
the many stories she told from her career. On June 4, 1966, she was united in marriage
to A. Charles “Chuck” Alexander. They were married fifty-three years before Chuck
preceded her in death on July 17, 2019. She was a longtime member of the Kimissis
Theotokou Greek Orthodox Church. Nancy will be remembered fondly for her infectious
smile, her impeccable sense of style, her compassionate care of patients, her ability to
light up the room and make friends with anyone she met, and her great love and devotion
to her family.
Nancy will be dearly missed by her son, Andrew Alexander; grandchildren, Bella and
Laini Alexander, (who loved to go shopping and have sleepovers at her house);
step-children, Anson Alexander, Avon (Robert) Walton III and their children, Robert
Walton IV, Eric Alexander, and Lexi Alexander; three great-grandchildren, Robert Samuel
Walton V, Jay Alexander Walton, Meena Walton; brother, Mike (Kathy) Harris and their
children, Andy Harris and Anne (John) Godwin; her dog, Sunny who was always at her
side; other nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Due to COVID, Private funeral services will be held Friday, March 12, 2021, 11:00 am at
the Kimissis Theotokou Greek Orthodox Church, 1335 South Green Bay Road, with Rev.
Father John Ketchum officiating. To view the service online, visit Nancy’s page on the
