ELKHART -- Alexis C. "Mooka-Mook" Anderson, 4, of Elkhart, passed away at 11:42 p.m. Saturday, July 2, 2011, in the emergency department of Elkhart General Hospital. Her brother, Alex "Chunky" Anderson III, 6, also of Elkhart, died at 5:32 p.m. Monday, July 4, 2011, at Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, Mich. Both children died as a result of smoke inhalation from a house fire that destroyed their home.

"Nene" Chandler, at home, and Tanesha N. "Nesh" Anderson of Seymour; and grandmother Maggie N. (Stanley) Thompson of Seymour. An uncle, Jermaine Ford, survives as well, and is credited with saving the children's brother, Lexington, from the fire.
Two grandmothers, Ramona L. Chandler and Helen Carver, preceded the children in death.
