Marianne Louise Alexander

Marianne, the most loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother is survived by her husband, David; daughters, Shannon and Jessica; granddaughters, Abigail and Layla; niece, Rebecca; grandnephew, Ian; grandniece, Adrienne; brother, James; niece, Heather; sister, Suzanne; faithful dogs, Chance and Dallas; and cat, Simba.

Upon graduation from Katella High School, Marianne went on to Anaheim University where she furthered her business knowledge. This led Marianne to work at Diversified Mail, where she met the love of her life, the man who would stand by her side through thick and thin, David.

As a customer service manager for 25 years in the mail marketing industry, Marianne worked tirelessly to faithfully support her family. Once retired, she assisted at a doctor’s office.

Marianne had the personality and natural charisma to make friends no matter the situation, and her laugh was infectious to everyone around her.

Marianne loved spending time in the kitchen, creating delicious meals for her family. Neighborhood children would gather around the kitchen table for after-school cookies and meals, feeling safe and loved by Marianne and David.

Marianne was a truly great woman whose impact will be forever felt by her family, friends, and church that loves her dearly. She was a selfless woman whose passing left an unfillable gap in the hearts of her loved ones. Her ability to sacrifice, provide, support, forgive, and love will be forever engrained in all she knew.

Services will be held at Fairhaven Memorial Park on November 12th at 2pm with reception to follow.
