She was preceded in death by her parents and her "fur-babies": Deja, Crystal, Velvet, and Annabelle. Alexis left behind a note of her favorite quotes: "What goes around, comes around. Everything happens for a reason. Whatever. Life is Good. Bucko! (when I am getting mad!)" A memorial service for friends and family in Alabama will be held at 3 p.m. on Monday, November 3, 2025 at the Gunter's Landing Golf Course clubhouse located at 1000 Gunter's Landing Road, Guntersville, AL 35976.
