The Alzheimer's Association is the world's leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. We value inclusivity, community, accountability, agility, and integrity. Our commitment to transparency, research, and diversity and inclusion helps to fulfill our vision: a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
In 2021, the Alzheimer's Association invested over $70 million in research, launched two new campaigns "Any Given Moment" and "More Time", and strengthened partnerships with faith-based communities. The Alzheimer's Association's powerful advocacy witnessed the Improving HOPE for Alzheimer's Act signed into law through the Association's leadership. At the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's participants walked in small groups in their neighborhoods to raise $86 million. less

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.
