Anne Devlin Alexander
Fun-loving, positive centenarian who enjoyed time with family
Anne Devlin Alexander of Livingston, 100, died Sunday, Dec. 22, 2019, at home with her family.
Anne was born in Jersey City, N.J., the daughter of Sarah McCool Devlin and James Devlin. She grew up in Union, N.J., and West Orange, N.J., and lived in Livingston for the past 66 years.
Anne is survived by her devoted daughter, Annemarie Alexander and her husband, Bill Vnenchak with whom she lived, her daughter, Patricia Krasnodebski and her husband, Wes, her daughters-in-law, Sue Alexander and Joyce Alexander, her grandchildren, Sarah, Patrick and Kim Alexander, her "adopted daughter," Susan Boyd, and her "angel," Barbara Urban. She was predeceased by her husband, Patrick and her sons, Mark and Neil.
Anne graduated from Our Lady of the Valley High School in Orange, N.J., where she and a group of girls formed the "Merry Melody Maidens" Club. The Club met every two weeks for over 60 years, and in later years traveled together - truly enduring friendships.
Anne also graduated from Berkeley Secretarial School and was employed as an executive secretary at several Newark businesses: Bambergers, Ballantine Brewery and Anheuser-Busch Brewery, where she was the first woman hired at the then new facility in 1952.
Anne's Roman Catholic faith was strong. She and her husband, Patrick, were proud founding members of St. Raphael Church in Livingston. She was very active in numerous church fundraisers and committees, including serving as president of the Rosary Society and trip coordinator for the Senior Citizens Club.
Anne was a smart, warm, generous, positive and fun-loving person with a sharp wit. She enjoyed a wonderfully happy marriage of 33 years, loved traveling and spending time with her family, and had a wide circle of good friends. She will be dearly missed.
