Erna ALEXANDER

Mom was born in California to Elsie and Arthur Ulmer and moved as a child to Ellensburg where she went to school, made many lifetime friends and met her future husband, Douglas Alexander at a softball game where he kept noticing this “real cute girl, 5’4” tall, dark hair and big brown eyes.” They were married in 1956 and had four children, Dennis, David, Scott and Kellie. “Papa” Doug passed away in 2002. Mom was a dental assistant and in later years was an office manager for a prominent Seattle area dentist. She always made us brush. She was preceded in death by her mother, brothers Gil Ulmer and Leonard Ulmer and a sister, Ann Hill. She is survived by her sister, Janette, her four children, grandchildren Brandon, Chelsea, Brianne, Dan, McKenna, Conner and Caylee and many nieces and nephews. We want to thank the staff at Virginia Mason for their compassion and care. She had a great sense of humor and delighted in her license plate frame, O2BA10. Mom you are a “10”.
