early educational resume includes Wheatley, New Hope & Saddler Elementaries,
and Carter G. Woodson High School where she was a member of the
graduating class of 1972. She went on to attend Bacone College & Langston
University
Growing up in a household where God was ever present Trish professed a
hope in God at an early age and united with the Little Rose Baptist Church.
Over the course of her life and travels she visited other churches and upon
her return to Muskogee she united with the Coal Creek Baptist Church under
the pastorate of her mother Rev. F. J. Wright. Upon on the closing of those
doors she became an attendee of Turning Point New Deliverance Church under
the pastorate of Pastor Jacque Harris until her health failed.
Trish led a full life and in her early adult years she met and married Mr.
Leonard Alexander this marriage remained until his death in 1981. In 1975
she answered the call to serve and joined the United States Air Force she was
