Alexandra Wheeler Obituary

Alexandra "Lexie" Wheeler, 36 of Scottsdale, AZ passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Friday, August 22nd, 2025. Lexie Wheeler (Moon) was born and raised in Fergus Falls, MN. She attended Minnesota State University at Moorehead where she was an avid tennis player. From there, Lexie lived and worked in Fargo, ND for several years before relocating to Scottsdale. Lexie held several positions within State Farm Insurance Co. before fulfilling her lifelong dream of working for Mayo Clinic as a Design and Optimization Manager. Lexie lit up every room she walked into even when dealing with chronic and prolonged health issues. She is survived by her husband Ross, parents Jeff & Lisa Moon, sister Kellie and brother-in-law Creighton Green, and her grandparents. She will be especially missed and long remembered by her friends & family near and far. Lexie was an avid hiker, coffee enthusiast, traveler, and pickleballer. She would always go out of her way to create many memories with her two nieces and two nephews. Her creative artistic cakes were always a big hit for her local niece and nephew. The family would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to the Mayo Clinic and their wonderful staff who took such great care of Lexie over the years. A private celebration of life will be scheduled at a future date. Donations in Lexie's name can be made to your favorite charity.

How do you even start describing this vibrant, fearless, champion of life? I witnessed firsthand Lexie's genuine passion for helping others learn and grow. She made a lasting impact on those that were fortunate enough to cross paths with her. She led with positive energy making everyone around her better. She was an amazing human. ONE of the best. The world lost a good one here. I won't forget the lessons you taught me while you were on this Earth dear Lexie. Forever inspired.

My condolences to her family.

Ms. Lexi will be greatly missed by all her colleagues and friends at Mayo Clinic! Lexi made a positive impact on many of those she worked with at Mayo Clinic. Lexi and I worked together on a large project. Lexi was a breath of fresh air with her high energy levels, positive outlook, fearless opinions, professionalism, kindness, and taking leaps of faith of just doing it (begging for forgiveness later). I loved the way Lexi would "ride herd" and "get'er done". Just fearless!!

Thank you for sharing Lexi with us! Lexi had a positive impact of those who knew her.

I consider Ms. Lexi, a friend whom I'll never forget!

My heart aches as I try to find the words to express my sorrow at the loss of Lexie. She was truly extraordinary. I admired Lexie´s tenacity, her innovative spirit, her unwavering positivity and her bright smile. Her love for learning was infectious, and she got such joy from sharing new discoveries, always eager to help others grow and thrive alongside her.
Her positivity was simply radiant; she had a way of brightening every day with her warmth and genuine kindness. I feel so blessed to have worked with Lexie. Though her time with us feels heartbreakingly brief, the memory of her spirit will remain with me always. I hope you can find comfort in knowing how deeply she touched the lives of those who worked with her, and in the enduring legacy of love, joy, and inspiration she leaves behind.

My heart is broken. Lexie was an inspiriting person to so many suffering from cancer and I will forever remember this intelligent, funny, endearing, brave, and beautiful human being.

I have been following her journey on TikTok for a long time and there are few people I check in on, but she was one and I have to admit I felt like I lost a friend. She made that much of an impact on my life.

My deepest condolences to Ross and her parents. You knew an angel.

RIP Lex

Her videos were inspiring, educational, filled with compassion and pure love and kindness for everyone. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. Missing someone is sadness wrapped up in a blessing of having know them May Lexi and all the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace Amen

While I don't use much social media, I worked with Lexie closely for years on several projects. She carried herself with an effortless positivity, an ability to adapt to any situation, and an infectious passion for life. She did so much in such a short time to bring people together, break down silos, and foster innovation. Lexie embodied Mayo's core values and her work has led to the improvement of many lives. Her passing is a reminder that every day is precious and a source of inspiration to do better.

Lex´s Family,
As I write this note I am reminded of the expression "the power of one"... Lex through her social media presence and so vividly through all of the loving pictures exchanged these past few days has shown just what "one person" can achieve. Her impact is so lovingly evident. Lex had the gift to talk with people with sincerity, vulnerability, courage and humor. ...qualities that touched right to the soul. For me, Lex was a voice that whispered "don´t quit"....I will miss her presence (albeit virtual) in my life.
One person can make a difference. Lex made a difference.
Wishing Lex´s family God's continued comfort. I will pray for your family. Sincere condolences.

I am saddened to hear about our Lexies passing. I followed her closely on TikTok and I enjoyed hearing about her adventures, struggles, joyful moments, and her connections to everyone. Literally everyone. Her heart was like a house with room to fit everyone in. I will really miss her on here. The last post was hard to watch so I´m happy to learn she passed in peace. I pray that when my time comes, she´ll be there to welcome me home. Lots of love to everyone she leaves behind. As Keanu once said, the only certain thing [when we pass] is that the people that love us, will miss us. Prayers. Thank you for sharing her with us, Ross.

I don´t have cancer to deal with and Lex lifted me up with every post she made on social media. How is that even possible. I will miss her so very much. She was not a complainer. She loved life. She was so happy to find her great love with Ross. She deeply loved her family, her job and was so grateful for everything. I hope the end was peaceful and that she was unaware that it was the end. Godspeed Lex! I would love to hear your descriptions of your next adventure!

My heartfelt condolences to Lexie´s family and to everyone who loved her. Whenever I think of Lexie, I can´t help but smile, because she embodied pure joy. Her impact was powerful, and I can only hope my own legacy leaves even a fraction of the mark she did. Everyone who crossed paths with her-whether in person or online-was touched by her light. I feel incredibly blessed to have called her my friend. Rest in peace, Lexie

I had the privilege of getting to know Lexie while working on several projects together. She may be one of the kindest people I´ve ever met. Lexie had a remarkable way of making everyone feel seen and valued-she truly took the time to connect with people. Her warmth, intelligence, and generosity of spirit inspired me to be a better person, both professionally and personally. I learned so much from her, and I will always be grateful for the time we shared. She will be deeply missed.

My deepest sympathies go out to Lexie´s family. Although Lexie became my manager only a few months ago, her impact on me was profound. I´m incredibly saddened by the loss of a new friend, mentor, and colleague. Her positivity and light was so bright it even lit our remote meeting 'rooms.'

Our team has called ourselves "Team Awesome" for years, but it´s clear now that we were missing a vital piece-Lexie. She completed us. Her presence will be deeply missed by our team and by all the colleagues fortunate enough to work with her. She will be remembered with warmth and admiration.

Sending thoughts and prayers to her family and friends during this difficult time.
