LEONE ALEXANDER
LINCOLNVILLE - Leone Furtney Alexander of Lincolnville died May 19, 2005, after a short illness. She would have been 101 in June.
Born in Austin, Minn., she was a graduate of the University of Minnesota, did post-graduate work in library science, and became a librarian.
She was married for more than 40 years to Fay K. Alexander, MD., who predeceased her in 1972. They built a home in Lincolnville in 1958, and made many good friends in the area.
An avid reader, Mrs. Alexander, had a weekly reading group at her home. She was active in the Hospital Auxiliary, and was a past president. She also enjoyed birding and travel, visiting many parts of the world.
She is survived by her two sons, William and his wife, Julia of Albion; and Knight and his wife, Marjorie of Marblehead, Mass; as well as four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
If a remembrance is desired, a donation to the Camden Public Library, Nature Conservancy on the charity of one's choice is suggested.
