Carol D. (Henke) Alex, of Seguin, TX, went home to be with our Lord and Savior, on Sunday, June 23, 2024. Carol was born October 6, 1953 in San Marcos, TX, to Ervin and Lottie May (Bartling) Henke. She lived in New Braunfels, TX, graduating from New Braunfels High School in 1971.
On May 21, 1977, she and George Alex, Jr., were married and she moved to Seguin, TX. In December, 1984, she gave birth to her precious daughter Sarah.
Carol was in the banking and mortgage business for over 40 years, where she excelled in customer service winning more awards than she had room to display. A few close business associates named her the “Mortgage Queen.” She was a dedicated servant as a Sunday School teacher, Luther League leader, and guided many youth events and church committees. Prior to retirement, Carol was a member of the Seguin Noon Rotary Club and will be remembered as a Paul Harris Fellow.
Her most prized rewards were being a Room Mom to Sarah and her classmates. She was the support of many of her family and friends. She loved to make their times special including making her famous enchiladas, knitting doilies, and making Christmas ornaments and handmade crafted gifts. Most recent, was the time she spent spoiling her darling granddaughters and being called ‘Nana’…. The greatest Nana ever!

She is survived by her husband, George, Jr.; daughter and son-in-law, Sarah and Ryan Johnson; granddaughters Ava and Olivia Johnson; sisters and brothers-in-law, Sharon & Charlie White, and Susie & Gary Winterhalter; nephews Michael Cannon (Stephanie) and J.J.
