Terra Alexander

Obituary

Terra Deveaux Alexander, Indianapolis, passed away April 10, 2020.

She was born May 24, 1975 in Chicago.

Terra is survived by her husband, Bryan Alexander; son Hymne Deveaux of Indianapolis; stepdaughters Maddie and Bridget Alexander of Carmel; mother Sandra of Dolton, Illinois; brothers William Haulcy (wife: Diane) and Demetrius Haulcy (wife: Katnetha); mother-in-law Alice Alexander of Portland; and sisters-in-law Gina Denton of Portland and Kristie Alexander of Johnson City, Tennessee.

She was a graduate of Northern Illinois University with a bachelor’s degree in political science and completed courses in drama and film and television at the Tish School of the Arts at New York University.

Terra was a devoted mother and wife and lived to serve others. She was a former social justice leader at Oasis Church, Los Angeles, and a proud and active member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Her sisterhood was central in her life and she joined her sorors monthly in Chicago for fellowship and to engage in community projects focused on serving the underprivileged and the elderly. She never passed on an opportunity to help those in need.

Along with her husband Bryan, Terra enjoyed travel and she was blessed enough to see all corners of the country along with her beloved tropical beach locations by his side. Despite coming from different places, Bryan and Terra were each other's best friend and loved to spend time together laughing and enjoying life.

She was ambitious and could never be distracted from chasing her passions. She was a member of the Screen Actors Guild and was a working actress and model for over 10 years. She published a book and produced a movie.

Her professional passion was based on healing. She had her own massage practice (Holistic Terra) in Broad Ripple for almost 10 years and was not only a therapist but a friend to many of her clients.

She was a proud mother and was able to see her son achieve the goals that they, together, had worked so hard to achieve. Most importantly, she was a child of God and worked daily on her relationship with Him.

Given the current circumstances, there will be a private service in the Baird-Freeman Funeral Home, Portland, Indiana, with burial in the Green Park Cemetery.

A public homecoming celebration will be held in Chicago at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in her honor to the Indianapolis Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic.
