Adams announces the passing of Mrs. Betty Jane Alexander Smalls, 69, who transitioned on Thursday, November 11, 2021 at her residence surrounded by her loving family.

Mrs. Betty Jane Alexander Smalls, the daughter of Thelma J. and Rudolph Alexander, Sr., was born July 16, 1952 in Savannah, Georgia. She attended local public schools, graduated from Richard Arnold School and briefly attending Armstrong State College.  She began her career as a public servant working at the Chatham County Correctional Institution.  In 1982, she began working at the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services where she retired after 30 years of dedicated service.  Always a hard worker, she also worked part-time jobs at Sam’s Club and H.R. Block Tax Services.  She was baptized at an early age while attending First Smyrna Baptist Church.

In God’s Divine Timing and Wisdom, Ms. Smalls made her transition on Thursday, November 11, 2021 after a long illness.  We pause here today to pay loving tribute to an inquisitive, direct, caring and fun-loving Spirit who valued family and friends.  She was loved by all who knew her.

Ms. Smalls was preceded in death by her parents, Thelma J. and Rudolph Alexander, Sr.  She is mourned by three devoted children, Phyllis L. Alexander and Charlesetta L. Green, both of Savannah; and Charles LN. Smalls of Lithonia, GA; two loving sisters, Mildred J. Miles of Savannah and Cora L. Alexander of Decatur and three devoted brothers, Rudolph Alexander Jr. of Lithonia, Willie L. (Joanne) Alexander of Savannah and Sylvester Alexander of Hampton, GA.  Additional family members include five grandchildren: Abshalam J. Alexander, Tameka Greene, Candace R. Washington, LaKesha S. Escoffery and Brian K. Alexander, six great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
