Cynthia Alexander, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at the age of 90.

Born in Pensacola, FL, she was the youngest of nine children and spent her life devoted to family, faith, and service to others. She grew up in East Pensacola Heights and attended Pensacola High School, where she built lasting friendships and a strong foundation for the life, she would go on to lead. It was in Pensacola that she met the love of her life, Harold Alexander, and together they built a beautiful marriage that lasted 52 years.

With a deep love for children, she pursued a career in early childhood education, owning and operating three daycare centers, Children's World, in Pensacola, with her business partner and friend. Her passion for nurturing young minds extended beyond her career, as she dedicated much of her time volunteering at various elementary schools. Her dedication was recognized when she was honored as Volunteer of the Year at Oakcrest Elementary School. She also dedicated much of her time to the United Ministries and The Pensacola Pilot Club.

She was an active member of Heights Baptist Church and found joy in reading, gardening, and playing Bunco with a cherished group of friends. Above all, her family was everything to her. She treasured every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, always providing love, wisdom, and encouragement. Music was another of her great loves, filling her home and heart with joy. Her kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to her family and community will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
