Obituary For Allexis Marche' Mitchell

Allexis Marche' Mitchell, 22, of Mechanicsville, transitioned peacefully in her mother’s arms on February 11, 2021 at Bon Secours Hospice House, after a long and courageous battle with chronic kidney disease. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Matthew Christian.

Allexis was born October 2, 1998 in Richmond, Virginia to the union of Shawn Eric Mitchell Sr. and Lafonya C. Hunter. She was the youngest of two children.

At an early age, Allexis professed her faith in Christ and was baptized at Fifth Street Baptist Church. While attending Fifth Street Baptist Church, she participated in several church sponsored programs such as the Girl Scouts, Children & Youth Choir and Bible class. She was a Sophomore at O’Fallon Township High School (OTHS) in O’Fallon, Illinois, Class of 2017 before she fell ill. Allexis was very active. She cheered for the Chamberlayne Youth Football Association, sang Soprano for the OTHS Select Choir as well as briefly played the violin. The relationship she had with her brother, Shawn, was not like any other. Shawn and Allexis were only 18 months apart and where you often saw him, you saw her. She would often say her brother was her only true friend because he was with her through her journey and she knew that he would always have her back. They had an unbreakable bond. The love that she had for her brother would soon have to be shared, as she was anxiously awaiting the arrival of her first niece.

Allexis was a lover of art, music and an aspiring makeup artist. She was hilariously funny, outspoken and fair. Allexis symbolized strength, beauty and was loved by all that spent time with her, young and old. She was fiercely loyal to her family and friends. We will always remember her infectious smile, her beautiful eyes and her caring personality. Her presence in our lives will be sorely missed.

When you think of Allexis, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest. Allexis was loved, is missed and will always be cherished.

Left to cherish her memories are her encouraging mother, Lafonya C. Hunter (Conie); protective brother, Shawn Eric Mitchell Jr.; father, Shawn Eric Mitchell Sr.; maternal and paternal grandparents, Charmine Lowe (Gary) and Lester Mitchell Sr. (Madeline); maternal great grandparents, Clarence Winns Jr. and Evelyn Winns; step grandmother, Janice (Ronnie) Christian; five uncles, eight aunts, a host of cousins, three devoted, Amir Jackson, Eiden Harvery and Londyn Graves; a supportive godmother, Monica Sharper Brown (Shawn); two loving godsisters, Khyia Harley and Brooklynn Brown; three treasured friends, Ceci Cintron, Miranda Pope, Marcus Robinson and her loyal dog, Dexter.

A private memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Friday, February 26, 2021 at Scott's Chapel, 116 E. Brookland Park Blvd. Rev. F. Todd Gray officiating. Interment private. Livestreaming at scottsfuneralhome.com. Watch video, copy & paste into any browser: https://vimeo.com/518721009

My heart hurts for you adn your family Lafonya, as this loss is unimaginable. Although, I've never had the pleasure of meeting Allexis-I can literally see her sweet spirit and her strength in her eyes looking at her picture and i know that you, her mother is a true indicator of just how much of a fighter she was. Some other things that I am sure of are that Allexis is now present with the Lord, where there is no pain or sorrow. I know God is the source of all comfort and the provider of Peace that surpasses all understanding. My church family adn i are standing on this Word of God in prayer that His Comfort and Peace will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus during this time. With sincere love, ~ Anika & church family

LaFonya, I know that there are no words that will take away the pain that you are feeling right now but here is what I also know....Allexis was loved UNCONDITIONALLY every single moment that she was on this earth. Throughout her health challenges she had a loving family, a wonderful mother, who stayed by her side and helped her through every challenge she experienced. She fought hard, you fought hard and the time, memories and moments that you guys shared will always be a part of you which means that she will always be a part of you. When you think about her and smile or look at a picture of her or reread a text exchange you guys had... she is with you in those moments. I will definitely be there next week to remember and celebrate her life with you and I look forward to giving you the biggest, longest masked-up hug possible. I love you friend...

Allexis was such a beautiful soul inside and out. Her adorable laugh and her ability to make anyone around her smile and laugh is something nobody can forget. Allexis, you are truly loved and missed by everyone. We know you're without pain and suffering now and as happy as can be, it's just extremely hard for the people you left behind on this earth to continue on without you physically here. We love you more than words can explain. You will forever be in our hearts. Your niece will forever know how incredible you are. Keep protecting and watching over everyone like I know you are baby. Until we meet again, babygirl. I love you so much.
