Clastine was one of 8 children born to James and Mary Anna Alexander in St. Louis, MO on July 21, 1927. She was always kind and caring and a very affectionate person. She graduated from Lincoln University where she was a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority. She received her Masters in social work from Washington University. Her compassion was felt by many in her line of work as Director of Social Work for the City Hospital #1 and at Homer G. Phillips Hospital. Mrs. DuBose enjoyed traveling with her husband and she enjoyed shopping for pretty things to wear. Clastine was an avid card player and was a sharp Bridge player. Her kind heart and compassion for people will surely be missed.
