Torrey Lee was the type of person that no matter the situation, she would do whatever she could to bring a smile to your face, even if it meant making a complete fool of herself. She had the type of love that would never waiver no matter what happened. Torrey Lee was the person who always showed up without warning, but always when you needed her, too. She knew when her friends or family needed someone to be there before they even knew to ask. She was stronger than most men, and sure wasn’t afraid to take one down if she had to, but behind that strength was a little girl, so full of love and peace, you couldn’t help but see how brightly she shined. She was a force that could not be ignored; her warmth and comforting nature was always there when people needed it from her; any other time she was full of life and excitement and always ready to have fun with all of her friends and family. Torrey Lee Alexander, our sunshine on a cloudy day.
Torrey Lee Alexander is survived in life by her mother, Cindy Caulder and stepfather Edward Gram Melvin III; brother, Blaze Alexander; niece, Haylen Grace Alexander; three stepbrothers, Austin, Cody and Gage Melvin. On father’s side, father, Torrey Shawn Alexander and stepmom Brooke; two sisters, Ashton and Josie Alexander; brother, Jordan Alexander; stepsister, Chloe Chavis; grandmother, Linda Stout (Donny); grandfather, Kenny Jenks Sr. (Crystal), Wanda Crouch McClellan (Tommy); aunts, Tera Williams, Shannon Crouch, Laura Lewis (Trey); an uncle, Kenneth Jenks Jr. (Amiee); and her beloved boyfriend, Chris Joyner.
