Remembering her talents in across multiple platforms - Alexis was a 'brilliant artist and painter, a singer, an entertainer and an actor,' they said - the four surviving siblings addressed the courage and strength in which Alexis conducted herself, even to her own professional detriment.

'Her career was cut short, not by her passing, but by her decision to live her truth and her life as a transgender woman,' the siblings said. 'She refused to play roles that were demeaning or stereotypical.

'She was a vanguard in the fight for understanding and acceptance for all trans people.'
