Carole Bishop Lee, a resident of Dothan, AL, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, surrounded by her children and three dogs.
Carole was born in Atlanta, GA, on April 3, 1940, to the late Eustace E. Bishop, Sr. and Mary Alice Newton Bishop. A 1958 graduate of Dothan High School, she married William M. Lee on September 28, 1962. Bill and Carole raised their family in Dothan and were married for 58 years until his death in December 2020.
Carole was a devoted mother, gifted artist, passionate community servant, and beloved friend, whose life was defined by creativity, generosity, and connection. A lifelong dog lover and tireless advocate for others, Carole was also the proud mother of five children and the heart of her family. She poured her energy not only into her home but also into the broader Dothan, AL community, where her leadership and service left a lasting impact. Through the years, she was deeply involved with many community organizations including Landmark Park, Wiregrass Pets Rescue & Adoption, SEACT, The National Peanut Festival, Houston Love Memorial Library, the Dothan Opera House Board, Time Youth, and the Girl Scouts, always offering her time, vision, opinion, and encouragement wherever it was needed.
Carole was a loyal member of The United Methodist Church, where her faith and creativity intertwined. As a local church member, Carole served on a variety of committees, sang in the church choir, organized Faithful Fingers sewing and knitting group, and was a consistent supporter of Blue Lake Camp. As a liturgical worship artist, she designed and crafted banners for all seasons of the church year and was a leader in The Fellowship, especially Lake Junaluska Music Week. Her faith was lived actively—through service, art, and fellowship.
A true creative genius, Carole found joy in quilting, sewing, knitting, scrapbooking, gardening, and cooking. An avid reader, she was a faithful member of a book group for many years. She was especially known for her love of hosting gatherings with beautiful tablescapes and welcoming friends and family with warmth and laughter. One of her most treasured traditions was baking pound cakes using her grandmother’s recipe, which she delighted in giving away as a gesture of love. Carole had a remarkable gift for bringing people together. A natural connector, she built friendships across generations and diverse communities and made everyone feel seen and valued. A world traveler, she embraced new places and experiences with curiosity and enthusiasm.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William M. Lee, and her son, Stan R. “Chip” Beason.
Carole is survived by her four children; Juli-Ann Lee Morgan (Brian), Jeni Lee (Joe Boshears), Tom Lee (Katherine), Jon Lee (Jennie), ten grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; her brother and sister, Eustace E. “Top” Bishop, Jr., (Sandra) and Julie Bishop, and her three beloved dogs.

Dr. Daniel Peter Alexander, known affectionately as Dan, passed away on January 25, 2026, in Mobile, Alabama. Born on January 31, 1970, in San Francisco, California, Dan’s journey through life was marked by a relentless pursuit of knowledge, a deep love for his family, and an adventurous spirit that inspired everyone around him.
Dan’s early years in San Francisco set the stage for a life of discovery and passion. His intelligence and generosity shone brightly, traits that would become the cornerstones of his character. After excelling in his studies, he attended Cornell University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, and later, St. George’s Medical School, which set him on the path to becoming a Pediatric Specialist.
His career was as remarkable as it was impactful. After leaving the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, Dan moved to Donalsonville, Georgia, where he not only found his calling in pediatrics but also met the love of his life, Dr. Andrea “Andi” Alexander. Together, they built a life full of love, laughter, and shared dedication to their patients and community.
Dan is survived by his wife, Dr. Andi Alexander; his children, Nico Waddell, Hayes Waddell, Ellie Alexander, Drew Alexander, and Kaitlyn Alexander; his mother, Carole Alexander; his father, Walter Alexander (Phoebe); his step-father, Elliott Webb and his sister, Jen Alexander. Each family member was a precious chapter in Dan’s book of life, and he cherished every moment spent with them.
Athletic and sociable, Dan’s interests were varied and full of life. He was an avid lacrosse player in college, a testament to his competitive nature and team spirit. His love for sports extended to tennis and snowboarding, activities that reflected his thrill-seeking personality and strength. But it was his philosophy, “where there is a will, there is a way,” that truly defined Dan’s approach to life’s challenges.
Dan’s family, friends, and colleagues knew him as a man who could always be counted on. His caring nature was matched only by his confidence and strength. Detail-oriented in his work, he saved lives with precision and dignity.
Intelligent, kind, and a master strategist, Dan lived a life that was full of purpose and joy. His legacy is one of unwavering commitment to his family, his patients, and his friends.
A celebration of Dan’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in Sunset Funeral Home Chapel. The family will receive friends from 10-11 am prior to the service at the funeral home.
