Alexis Wiltse Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Alexis Devon Wiltse on Saturday May 6, 2023. Alexis passed doing what she loved most, enjoying the freedom of the open road on her beloved Harley Davidson FXR. Alexis was born in Kamloops where she touched the lives of anyone she crossed paths with. Her larger than life personality, unmatched sense of humour, and gift for holding safe space for anyone no matter their path in life was the essence of her spirit. Alexis was proud and passionate about her work as a social worker and Team Lead for Secwepemc Child & Family Services where she fiercely supported families to stay together with her amazing work family.

Alexis leaves behind a large loving family; she is survived by her mom Cindy Wiltse and stepfather Jim Benton, her sisters Missy Wiltse (David & Graysen), Jamie Wiltse (Mark, Jacksen, Cade & Mirra), and Erin Wiltse. Her extended family includes Uncle Shane Clarke, Aunt Deanna Atkins (Shane & Ethan), and Uncle Rusty Clarke. Alexis is joining the loving arms of her dad, Denny Wiltse, grandparents Ken & Dorothy Wiltse, and grandmother Leone Atkins who have all passed before her. Alexis' dynamic family also included: her birth father, Steve Carnovale (Michelle), brothers Luciano Carnovale (Amber & Emilia), and Matteo Carnovale (Kate), uncles Frank Carnovale (Christine & Aleah, Nataly Mia and Maximo) and Michael (Chris), as well as her grandparents Vito and Lena Carnovale.

Although it wasn't forever, Alexis is also survived by her long term partner, Ty Szigeti who lovingly accepted her passionate and strong willed spirit for many years. Alexis deeply loved her many friends including her best friend and soul sister, Courtney Dalgleish (David & Leah and Ella).

Alexis was loyal to her core, always led with love, and her sass and spirit was guaranteed to keep things lively in her presence. She never chose the easy road, but instead found a way to make any road travelled nothing but her own.

We extend deep gratitude to all those who went above and beyond to try and save Alexis. We acknowledge the brave bystanders, BCEHS, RCMP, and staff at Royal Inland who all did their very best for Alexis.

The family welcomes anyone who was touched by Alexis' spirit to join us in a Celebration of Life on Friday, May 19th, 2023 hosted at the Colombo Lodge at 1:00 pm.

Two separate viewings will also be held on Thursday, May 18th for those who wish to say goodbye to Alexis. Family is invited from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and friends from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Schoening Funeral Home. We extend a thank you to Schoening for supporting the family during this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to be made to Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society, youth programs.

I am a friend and a x boss of Alexis from Calgary and just found out about Alexis passing and am heartbroken about it.
She was more of a friend than an employee and I am sure will be greatly missed. I know she loved her job in Kamloops and will be missed there.
Rest In Peace Alexis

Sincere condolences to all of Alexis' family and friends. I first met Alexis at TRU, we did our degrees together and later worked together. She was an amazing person and social worker who always knew she wanted to work in child welfare. She had an infectious laugh and was quick to put people at ease. An incredibly determined person gone too soon, but her impact will be remembered by many.

I write to share deep condolences on behalf of the School of Social Work and Human Service at Thompson Rivers University. As Alexis's former instructor, I remember her as an extremely bright, compassionate, and talented woman who was committed to making the world a better place for all those she walked alongside. After graduation, Alexis shared her knowledge as a skilled and caring mentor of social work students, leaving a lasting impression in the field. She will be missed and remembered by so many. Our thoughts are with Alexis' family and friends at this time.
