Obituary

Elizabeth Phillips Alexander passed away at her home in Memphis on Saturday, November 20, 2021. Born in Memphis, in 1955, Elizabeth attended The Hutchison School and The University of Colorado, Boulder. She worked for a short period in Florida in the financial industry before returning to Memphis where she sold real estate for a number of years and later became an accomplished dealer of antiquities. Elizabeth was a lover and supporter of music especially rock and roll and the blues. She enjoyed robust political debate and was passionate about social justice and protecting the environment. Elizabeth was a self-taught expert on art and antiques, possessing an encyclopedic knowledge. She adored fashion, and was known for her exquisite taste and unforgettable flair. An avid gardener and accomplished cook, Elizabeth slayed everything she did with drama and style! Her delightfully zany sense of humor was a joy to all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her father, Vance Alexander Jr., her mother, Elizabeth Alexander, her brothers, Michael Alexander and Vance Alexander III. She leaves her sister, Brooke Touchstone, her uncle, Russell Phillips Jr., and her cousin, Russell Phillips III. She also leaves her dear beau, Tommy Robinson. Her zest for life will be missed by many. Memorials may be sent to: The Blues Foundation, Stax Music Academy, and The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
