She had an exceptional eye for style and detail, with a rare ability to curate looks and spaces that felt both effortless and elevated. Whether assembling the perfect outfit, selecting décor for her home, or choosing makeup palettes for a client, she had an intuitive sense of what worked best. She approached shopping like an art form, always knowing where to find the perfect item and how to bring everything together with polish and flair. Beyond her love of beauty and design, she was passionate about animal rights and had a soft spot for homeless cats and dogs, often advocating for their protection and care. Alex was a light in this world, and she will always be admired for her strength, determination and love for her family. Because of you Alex, we believe in angels and the afterlife and know that we will see you again one day. Because of you Alex, we know that love never dies.
