Alexus Dawn Scott, age 15 of Peoria, AZ died February 25, 2019 in Peoria, AZ. She was born April 22, 2003 in Newburgh, IN to Darlene and Christopher Scott. With a burst of energy and an ever-present smile, Alexus could fill the room with her enthusiasm. Her passion for life was infectious, and she was eager to share it with others as she would greet them with a hug. She loved to talk, her words tumbling out, demanding attention from those in her presence. She loved to sing. She was a member of choir at school and sang in many competitions as well as in videos that she would post online. Like most girls her age, she loved music. Her favorite band was Panic at the Disco.
Alexus loved being outdoors, biking, swimming and hiking. Having recently moved to Arizona, she enjoyed the warmth and beauty of the state. She often went hiking with her Poppy and Grammy, exploring the local trails. She enjoyed traveling and especially liked Disney World, Mexico, and the Grand Canyon.
Alexus was known as “Little Momma” to her family. From the moment her younger brother was born she looked out for him. She took her family responsibilities seriously, starting dinner every night at 5:00 so that it would be ready when her mother arrived home from work at 6:00. She loved watching Hawaii Five-O with her father. She was close to her cousins and loved to talk with them. Her love for her family was evident in all that she did and in her frequent response, “Love you more!”
Alexus is survived by her parents, Christopher and Darlene Scott; brother, Zachary Scott; grandparents, Henry and Vicky Pruitt; Thomas and Yvonne Slaton, Chuck Spencer, Darrell Scott; and Great-Grandma, Ann McDonald. She was preceded in death by her Papa Tom; Marvin Caudill; and Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Pruitt.
