Alexandra Anne Dulin

Alexandra Anne Dulin, 21, was tragically taken from this earth on December 11, 2022, in Deland, FL. Born in Indianapolis, she was residing in St. Petersburg, FL at the time of her death. She is survived by her parents, James II and Tamara Dulin; her brother, James III; and grandparents, Lizabeth Cyman, James Dulin Sr., and Lawrence and Barbara Stout. Alexandra entered this world on her own terms – arriving a week later than expected and this was a trait that followed her, and she embraced, throughout her life. Before her first birthday, a dear family friend nicknamed her “Spice,” because of her ability to command a room, her brother and toddler friends with attitude before she could speak a word. “Spice” stuck. In 3rd grade, her teacher asked Alexandra if she could call her a nickname because she had a young man named Alexandre in her class, as well. After she contemplated for a short time, she chose Ali. Alexandra loved to dance at an early age. She took a go at soccer for a small amount of time but went right back to dance. She cheered competitively and planned to become a college cheerleader, but persistent back problems squashed both of her potential cheer and dance careers. Alexandra never met a stranger, trusted everyone before they gave her a reason not to, and her family lovingly stated that she would “save the world” if she could. When she was in, she was “all in” no matter the subject. After high school, Alexandra decided to pursue a degree in Fashion and Business at Savannah College of Art and Design. Always creative and loving to be in front of the camera, it didn’t take long for her to be discovered for her infectious charisma and beauty. In Savannah, she began modeling and appeared in music videos through connections that she made during her short time at SCAD. At the encouragement of some classmates, she began working at Hooter’s last summer when she wanted to take on a smaller class load. It was during this time that her TikTok and Instagram following grew exponentially and she began creating her own brand. Alexandra lived her life to the fullest. There are many things we can say in her memory, but a recent text from one of her close friends sums her up perfectly: “She never limited herself on what she thought she could accomplish. She believed in herself and everyone around her unconditionally. When I talked to her, I felt like anything was possible. She always made me laugh and always wanted to make everyone feel good. She loved her unique sense of style. Her confidence was through the roof in the best way. I would always tell her that she was the only person I’d ever met that wasn’t afraid of anything. She was my only friend that pushed me to be the best version of myself in every way and my only friend that didn’t hold grudges against people because she just wanted to be happy. I talked to her on the phone on Thanksgiving and she said she was the happiest she had ever been and 2022 was the best year of her life.” Our family is thanking the Lord every day that we had our baby, our princess, our shorty, our Alex, our Ali, our Spice home for Thanksgiving 2022 and that our love for one another was openly shared.
