Alexis was born in Quincy on January 3, 1947, and was the daughter of the late James and Penelope (Leontire) Kechris.

Alexis was the heart of her family and the light of every room she entered. Those who knew her will remember Alexis as one of the most caring, generous, and compassionate people they ever met. Her warmth and kindness touched countless lives. Whether through a comforting word, a helping hand, or her boundless ability to make everyone feel seen and loved.

Alexis lived her life with grace and purpose, always putting others before herself and finding joy in the simplest moments of connection. Her legacy of love and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her.
