She passed on August 7, 2019, a day short of her 65th birthday. She was a wonderful mother and wife that left us too soon but gave all she had to her friends and family.
She was born in Tiffin, Ohio and grew up in Huron County, with her parents, Mary and Floren James, and her brother, David. She moved to California and met Steven Alexander, whom she married on October 4, 1979.
She had her first son, Matthew, in 1983 and her second son, Tyler, in 1986. That was the year she moved into her home in Torrance, where she and Steven raised both sons and where she lived until her death.
She loved the Dodgers and she loved her dogs. She helped out at her childrens' schools, organizing book fairs and as a member of the PTA. She also spent many years as a drug and alcohol counselor and went back to school to earn a degree in Drug and Alcohol Counseling.
Her mother, Mary, passed years ago after struggling for several years with Alzheimer's disease. LizAnn frequently visited her and gave charitably to the study of Alzheimer's. We're asking that in lieu of any gifts or flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer's Association or House of Hope, California chapter.
Last times I spent with Mom at my wedding. Just got the photos back. I have some other older ones I'll put up too, when I scrabble them together. I miss you Mom

So many childhood memories of growing up as cousins in the Brechmacher family - Thanksgiving dinners at Grandma B's, summer days at the beach in Huron, jumping off cliffs at Kelley's Island; and so many adult memories - Brechmacher Family reunions - especially the ones at Kelley's Island, helping to take care of Aunt Mary and Uncle Floren, phone conversations about David's wellbeing, and notes of encouragement. I just feel like a ray of sunshine has been extinguished. I will miss her terribly. Barbara Brechmacher McKee less
