Roast surprises Alexander couple

Paul and Virginia Womack Alexander of Woodbury were surprised at a party and roast Aug. 16 in honor of their 70th birthday. Mrs. Alexander, daughter of the late Ernest and Lucille Womack, was raised in Warren County.

The special event was given by their daughter and granddaughter, Gina and Gennica Alexander-Greenlee. It was held at Patterson Park Community Center in Murfreesboro.

The Alexanders were chauffeured by limousine for what they thought was an awards banquet for their daughter. Upon their arrival at the festive party scene, they were greeted by approximately 250 family and friends who had stories to tell and memories to share.
