When she was just 16 years old, she married Charles M. Alexander and they made their home in Heber in Wasatch county, Utah. In addition to her family and her church callings, Lovisa was also an active business woman. She owned a millinary shop in Heber, making and selling hats and clothing and also managed the local telephone switchboard/company after telephone service was brought into Heber.
Lovisa and Charles had nine children, losing her two oldest daughters in a typhoid fever epidemic in 1893 when they were just seven and ten years old. She had also lost a baby son when he was just an infant. Her remaining six children grew to adulthood.
When Lovisa was almost 60 years old (1913), she developed a cancerous tumor and succumbed to the disease. Charles Alexander lived another 22 years dying in 1935. Both are buried in the Heber cemetery.
