Alexa M. Yetter
Alexa M. Yetter, of Stevens Point, passed away at Marshfield Children’s Hospital due to cardiac arrest, on Aug. 3, 2023, at the young age of 16.
Alexa was born on Nov. 8, 2006, in Stevens Point, the daughter of Eric and Lisa (Wendt) Yetter. She spent her entire life in Stevens Point, attending Madison Elementary School, then on to P.J. Jacobs Middle School, and was currently a beloved member of the Class of 2025 at Stevens Point Area High School.
While Alexa’s life was far too short, the amount of accomplishments she achieved in her 16 years was extraordinary. Not only did she find great pride in volunteering; she absolutely loved it! She happily dedicated countless hours to the Boys and Girls Club of Portage County and the Keystone Club, where she was the secretary for the last two years. Some of her favorite volunteer work included Farmshed, Juneteenth Celebration, the Safety Fair at Mark Motors, the Boston School Forest and Point Pedal (the bike ride). She wasted no time filling the world with love and generosity. She may have been young, but she was an old soul.
When Alexa wasn’t at school or volunteering, she spent her free time cooking, reading, playing cards and computer games, and also enjoyed camping. Above all, Alexa had a deep love for people, especially those she called family and friends. She cherished every moment with them. While she was a polite young lady, she found great humor in making people laugh with her quick wit and sarcastic sense of humor. At Christmas time, she just couldn’t resist pushing ALL of the buttons on the Christmas toys in the aisle; after all, Christmas was her favorite season!
Alexa is lovingly survived by her parents, Eric and Lisa, whom she did everything with; her brother, Brandon Yetter; and a sister, Ashley Yetter. She is further survived by her maternal grandparents, Dennis and Colleen Wendt; her paternal grandfather, John Yetter; her uncles, Darren (Cyndi) Wendt and Mike (Dee) Yetter; her aunts, Julie Wendt, Jennifer Firkus and Sarah Yetter; nine nieces and nephews; and numerous cousins, extended family and close friends.
Alexa was preceded in death by her paternal grandmother, Rosanne Yetter; and her maternal grandmother, Diane Wendt.
For those wishing to express their sympathies, the family kindly suggests, in lieu of flowers, that memorials be made in Alexa’s name to either the Boys and Girls Club of Portage County or the Ronald McDonald House in Marshfield.
Alexa’s family would like to thank the staff of Marshfield Children’s Hospital PICU for their amazing care and compassion shown not only to Alexa, but to her family as well. Additionally, a special thank you goes to Mark and Beth for their love and support during the last week.
A Celebration of Life was held at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12, 2023, at Shuda Funeral Home, 3200 Stanley St., Stevens Point. The family greeted relatives and friends on Saturday morning at the funeral home from 9 a.m. until the Celebration of Life.
