Shelley Alexander, Corinth, a member of UNT’s Kendall Society, died Sept. 14. She and her husband, John Alexander (’91), established the College of Engineering Senior Projects Innovation Resource Endowment (EN-SPIRE) to help support senior design projects. The couple, who in 2019 received the university’s Ulys Knight Spirit Award, resided for three decades in Denton County. Following a life-altering incident nearly four decades ago, Shelley showed incredible resilience by relearning to walk and talk through rigorous rehabilitation. Her dedication to volunteering at Scottish Rite Children's Hospital earned her the Dallas Disabled Outstanding Volunteer of the Year award. An avid Mean Green fan, she wore spirit clothing almost daily, and her family, friends and fellow fans celebrated her life in the HUB Club at DATCU Stadium. Memorial gifts in Shelley's honor may be made to the EN-SPIRE Fund in the UNT College of Engineering or by check to "UNT Foundation" with "EN-SPIRE Fund - Shelley Alexander" on the memo line, mailed to UNT Foundation, 1155 Union Circle #311250, Denton, TX, 76203.
