Della Mae Alexander
CHINA GROVE - Della Mae Alexander, 90, who devoted her life to educating children, passed away peacefully Sunday evening, March 4, 2012, holding the hand of her nephew, Thomas Hoke.
She was born in Landis June 23, 1921, to John Ulysses and Fannie Kirk Alexander. She graduated from Landis High School and Catawba College.
She enjoyed a rewarding teaching career that spanned 41 years, most as a much-loved teacher at Landis Elementary School, where she was named Teacher of the Year.
