NORCROSS
Joyce Howington, 73, leader in business, city government

By KAY POWELL
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 04/11/07
Joyce Howington was determined to know the city of Norcross' business as well as she knew her family business.
She was vice president and secretary of Norcross Builders Inc. in 1996 when she was elected to the first of her three terms on the Norcross City Council. In no time, she was in city hall delving into everything about city services and departments, budgets and infrastructure.
"She just spent night and day here," said Mayor Lillian Webb of Norcross. "Her husband said he was going to get her a trailer and park it in the parking lot."
"She wanted to be knowledgeable," Mayor Webb said. "If somebody asked her a question, like why are we spending that money on a substation, she knew exactly why.
"She knew the electrical distribution system, about delivery to the end user — the homeowner — and the cost to the taxpayer. She was very responsive to citizenry."
The funeral for Joyce Blackstock Howington, 73, of Norcross is at 11 a.m. today at Norcross First Baptist Church. She died of pneumonia and congestive heart failure Sunday at Piedmont Hospital. Crowell Brothers Peachtree Chapel Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Accounting was Mrs. Howington's strong suit, Mayor Webb said, and she was admired for her frankness in council and out. "She wasn't gushy. She would say what she had to say right out and with candor, and I admire that.
"She would tell me to go home and change a suit if she didn't think what I was wearing looked good on me. She was always dressed perfectly for the occasion. I just felt like a hobo when I got around her."
Her husband, Carl Howington, credits her with his personal success and the success of the family business, said her son Stan Howington of Duluth.
"When she did something, she did it full blast, full bore," her son said. That went for shopping, too. "First and foremost, she loved to shop. She was a professional shopper."
She went into high gear at Christmas, said her daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Howington of Duluth. Recuperating from a broken hip this winter, she commandeered family and friends to do her shopping so Christmas would be the same as always, her daughter-in-law said.
Mrs. Howington's civic and family life converged at Christmas when her 37-year-old son, Steve Howington of Norcross, who was born with Down syndrome, flipped the switch on a decorated magnolia tree in Thrasher Park, the town anchor.
Steve Howington works at Hilton Northeast hotel in Norcross and in 1994 was named employee of the year by Barrier Free Gwinnett.
"She spent countless hours with speech therapists and occupation counselors and at school with Steve," Stan Howington said. "He is what he is because of her."
Everybody wanted Mrs. Howington in their corner, her daughter-in-law said. "We always said if we were up against the wall, we wanted her on our side," she said. "She was a feisty fighter. She could take them all on."
Other survivors include a daughter, Susan Howington of Norcross; and a grandchild.]]> Thu, 12 Apr 2007 08:47:38 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (bobbitt) Metro > Obituaries

A photograph of Winston Churchill dominated Joyce Alexander's Decatur kitchen for 60 years.
Her children begged her to take the scowling visage down. She let them know in no uncertain terms that were it not for him, she would not exist and therefore they would not exist.

Mrs. Alexander was a proud English war bride, and the wartime prime minister was her hero, said her daughter Chris Eisenfeld of Decatur.
"She never became an American citizen," her daughter said. "Every Fourth of July, she would hang a Union Jack in the window. All the neighborhood children talked about that crazy Englishwoman."
The war defined Mrs. Alexander's teenage years and made her stronger, more opinionated and more independent than ever, she said.
"She would say, 'When you've been through a war and bombings like I have, there's not a whole hell of a lot left to be afraid of,' " Ms. Eisenfeld said.
The memorial service for Joyce Byatt Alexander, 80, of Decatur is at 1 p.m. today at A.S. Turner & Sons. She died of complications from a pulmonary embolism Sunday at Emory University Hospital. The body was cremated.
At 13, Mrs. Alexander helped her father build an Anderson bomb shelter in the back garden of their Manchester, England, house, Ms. Eisenfeld said. Once the six-bunk bomb shelter kit was assembled underground, her mother created a rock garden atop it as camouflage from the German Luftwaffe.
Heavily industrial Manchester was constantly bombed by the Germans, said another daughter, Tamara Kuck of Decatur.
"Manchester had its own blitz," Ms. Kuck said. "When the sirens went off, she would pick up her canary in its little cage and head for the bomb shelter. The next morning, they would leave the shelter and see who could get the biggest piece of shrapnel."
During the Battle of Britain, Ms. Eisenfeld said, her mother spent 84 days inside the family bomb shelter.
After that siege, Mrs. Alexander and her sister, Audrey Davies of Destin, Fla., were evacuated to the safer Blackpool, England. Mrs. Alexander became homesick, returned to Manchester, completed school and joined the British Women's Land Army. Sent to Scotland, she didn't like hoeing potatoes, left the land army and earned her college degree in drafting.
Through a friend, she met and married an American soldier, Neil Jackson of Decatur, in September 1945. With $50 and what she could fit into a suitcase, she came to America in 1946 and joined her husband. She had two children before he died in 1950.
She returned to her beloved England but realized her children would not have many opportunities in devastated Manchester, Ms. Eisenfeld said.
She moved back to Decatur, met Ford Motor Co. engineer Alex Alexander and married him in May 1953.
Mrs. Alexander was a devoted QVC watcher who chatted with the shopping channel hosts as if they were old friends while she ordered jewelry and shoes, Ms. Eisenfeld said. British memorabilia filled her house and adorned her car.
When Ms. Eisenfeld considered buying a BMW, her mother told her emphatically, "You will never park a German car in my driveway," she said.
Mrs. Alexander talked daily with her best friend, English war bride Nora Gipson of Greensboro.
"My husband said he always knew when I was talking to her on the telephone because I would be laughing so," Mrs. Gipson said. "She was a very special person."
Mrs. Alexander reared her children on morality sayings and infused their daily lives with their English heritage.
This time of year she quoted "Home Thoughts from Abroad" by poet Robert Browning: "Oh, to be in England now that April's there."
Mostly she quoted and paraphrased her hero, Mr. Churchill.
"If we had a problem," Ms. Eisenfeld said, she would tell us, 'Don't forget you're English. We don't give in. We don't give up. And, we never surrender."
Survivors other than her daughters and sister include a son, Douglas Alexander of Decatur, Ala.; another daughter, Jane Berg of Dawsonville; four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
