Our beloved Alexandra (Ally, Alex, Lessie) Paige Hart, 23, died unexpectedly at her home in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Thursday, November 7, 2024.

Alex was born to Tim and Jenni Hart on January 27, 2001, and was welcomed by her sister, Laura, and brother, Jack, who loved her dearly. She will forever be loved and remembered by her family and her many friends, comrades, and teachers.

An artist, songwriter, musician, linguist, satirist, cartoonist, and activist, Alex created as a means to spread love and broaden other people’s perspectives. Her interest in history, geography, and all the world’s cultures and languages, was a lifelong passion that she delighted in sharing with others. If the discussion ever grew too heavy, she would disperse the tension with a wacky pun or a dose of her biting—though never cruel—sarcasm. A gifted musician and songwriter, she spent some of her happiest days practicing and performing with her band of besties, FishDad.

Alex was here to teach, advocate, inspire, and entertain, but more than all else, to love.

A Memorial Service will be held November 15, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at Renaissance Funeral Home in Raleigh. Anyone wishing to honor Alex’s memory can donate to Girls Rock NC or Meals for the Masses.

Any kindness shown to animals, or to folks who are oppressed or who have less than what they need, will carry on the work that Alex considered most important in her life.
