Lexi was baptized in and attended Crete Presbyterian Church, Indiana. Even as a child Lexi was a voracious reader.

At 16, Lexi received her second-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do from the ATA academy. Lexi graduated from Indiana Area Senior High School, Class of 2016. Lexi loved to travel, and she especially enjoyed cruises in the Caribbean with her family.
Lexi was employed as a certified nurse assistant and was loved and respected by everyone she cared for. Lexi was at her best when she was helping others. She loved to laugh and joke with those she worked with, and she especially cherished being able to bring a smile and a laugh to all around her.
Lexi was blessed with two children, Wyatt (6) and Kinlee (4), both of whom she loved and adored with her whole heart and soul.
