The sunshine of many of our lives has faded into the sunset.

Eileen Watson Alex was the youngest child of Walter C. Watson and Eileen A. Keeney Watson.

She grew up in Worcester before moving to Auburn, Ma. in 1949.  She arrived in Austin in the early 60's. She was pre-deceased by her parents and her two older brothers, Walter P. Watson and Lawrence M. Watson. She is survived by her sister, Margaret Amiot and husband Joseph, of Holden, Ma., by her sister-in-law Carol Watson of Suffolk, Va., and by Don Alex of Corpus Christi, Tx., as well as numerous nieces and nephews, and hundreds of Austin people who considered her "their Cissi."

A special fund has been set up for end-of-life expenses as well as for a memorial celebration of her life, which will be held closer to her birthday in October. She wanted a BIG PARTY, and we are going to give her one.  Donations can be mailed to:

Carlos and Kathy Hernandez    6305 Wild Street     Austin, Texas 78757

Please make checks out to Carlos Hernandez with a memo or endorsement to Eileen W. Alex Memorial Fund. Any surplus after expenses will be donated to Austin Humane Society, Cissy's favorite charity.  If you have any questions, call Carlos at 512 340 0550.
