(permission granted)
Ernest Wayne Alexander, 90, of Burneyville, OK, was born on June
25, 1933, in Burneyville to the late Ernest Lee and Ola Beatrice
(Carothers) Alexander. Wayne passed away Wednesday evening,
December 27, 2023, at Mercy Hospital in Ardmore.
Wayne was raised in Love County, graduating from Courtney High
School. He attended college for a few years and moved to Grand
Prairie, TX in 1953. It was during this time that he and his
wife Allegra Joy (Hendon) Alexander started their family. While
living in Grand Prairie, Wayne worked for Murdoch Industries as
a purchasing agent.
After the death of his wife, Wayne decided to move back home to
Love County in 2009. This is when the opportunity presented
itself and he found love again with a lifelong friend. He
married the former Oma Ruth Morton on April 3, 2014, in
Shreveport, Louisiana. They shared a wonderful relationship that
brought two families together.
Wayne loved sports and was often watching football on television
or spending time on the golf course. As a young athlete, Wayne
was a semi-professional baseball player, and was often recruited
to play for different teams to fill a role they had open. As he
got older, he loved to frequent the WinStar World Casino and try
his luck.
Wayne is preceded in death by his parents; his first wife,
Allegra Joy Alexander; a daughter, Aletra Stuart; brothers, Wigg
Alexander and Cecil Alexander; and a sister, Selma Glidden.
