<div itemprop="description">Fletcher, Alexis Cathryn, age 17, of Bedford, passed away on December 8th,2015 at the Halifax Infirmary, QE II. Born in Victoria, British Columbia, she was the beloved daughter of Jeff and Bev Fletcher. <br />Alexis adored and idolized her two older sisters Alycia and Ashley. Together the three of them laughed and brought love, life, and joy to our precious family. <br />Alexis had a kind and tender heart. Her beautiful smile could light up a room. She was a fun and loyal friend. She was sensitive and caring. Her goodness and beauty shone through even on her darkest days. <br />Alexis was a talented artist, creating amazing drawings and paintings, designing and sewing clothing, a wonderful knitter, and fiber artist. Her dream was to become a fine arts teacher. <br />She loved to dance. Her glowing stage presence captivated audiences. She studied dance from the age of 3, and loved her dance friends and teachers at Dartmouth Dance Academy, and the Maritime Conservatory of the Performing Arts. <br />She loved to travel and enjoyed many family vacations including trips to Mexico, Florida, the Caribbean, Paris and Brussels. But her favourite of all were family trips back home to Manitoba, boating with her cousins and enjoying the beach at Delta with her family. <br /> Alexis gave us so much in her short 17 years. She was a spiritual and non-judgmental soul who saw the goodness in everyone. We will hold her forever in our hearts. <br />She is survived by her parents; her sisters Alycia and Ashley, of Bedford; her grandparents Brian and Ida Miller and Andy and Jody Fletcher all of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
