Debora Lee Ball Alexander lost her courageous battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis on Sunday, August 17, 2014. She was born on July 30, 1950 to Clarence A. Ball Jr. and Leilan T. Ball. She lived most of her life in Kearns/Granger and graduated from Kearns High School. She married her high school sweetheart, Jerry Alexander, on Jan. 10, 1969. They spent the first 18 months of their marriage in Okinawa. They had two children together before going their separate ways in 1978.
She was an active member of the LDS church. When she received the calling to be a Primary Teacher she was very excited and happy because of the great love that she has for all children.
Debora enjoyed many things in life such as reading and listening to her music. One of the things that she loved most was watching movies. She always really looked forward to family movie nights and taking her grandsons out to lunch and the movies every January 1st.
