Standardbred racehorse owner Mona Therese Alexander, of Belgrade, Maine, passed away on November 30 at the age of 58 after a long battle with cancer.
She was born November 9, 1960, in Lewiston, the daughter of Jacqueline Abbott. She graduated from Lewiston High School, class of 1979.
After high school she worked various jobs before finding her calling at Geiger in Lewiston. She excelled at Geiger and won various awards for her work ethic and experience. She was able to work there for 29 years before her disease hindered her ability to work and forced her to retire. She loved her work community and will always love and be loved within her work family.
Outside of work she loved the ocean, especially being able to walk along the beach. Her favourite thing was being around her friends and family. She enjoyed all the family get-togethers and parties.
She was the rock of the family, willing to help everyone with anything. She also enjoyed Maine harness racing with her husband, Kevin. They owned and raced several horses throughout the years and had many friends related to that industry.
She is survived by her husband, Kevin; his son Scott, and his son, Grayson; sister, Tina (husband Mike), their children, Brittany, her daughter, Aubrey, Aaron and Connor; brother, Larry (wife Ann), their children, Iris and Will; sister-in-law, Jackie (husband Chuck); niece, Angela (husband Joe) and daughters Sierra and Addie; nephew, Brad; brother-in-law, Ron (wife Kathy); and nephew, Nate.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital.
