Hillsborough

God, in His infinite wisdom, saw fit to call home His daughter,
Alexis Louise Long, on Saturday, December 13, 2025. Born on May 10, 1999, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Alexis was the youngest daughter of Alfred and Quetta Long and the beloved twin sister of Alex Long. From the very beginning, she claimed her role as the diva of the family—full of confidence, charm, and light.

Alexis was a beautiful soul whose presence illuminated every room she entered. Her vibrant personality, radiant smile, and infectious spirit made her deeply loved by all who knew her. Truly the life of the party, she brought joy and inspiration to others through her passion for excellence in everything she pursued. Alexis found purpose and fulfillment in many areas of her life—being a devoted mother, cherishing time with family, advancing her nursing career, cheerleading, shopping and embracing her role as a fashionista (with a love for pink and leopard print), and traveling the world.

Strong in faith from an early age, Alexis was an active and faithful member of New Victory Center in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Her love for God and for people was evident in all that she did. She was a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Professionally, she served as a Mother-Baby Nurse at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital, a role that perfectly reflected her compassion, skill, and heart for service.

On September 11, 2023, Alexis achieved her greatest accomplishment—becoming a mother to her handsome son, Aven Jace Pettiford, whom she loved beyond measure. Her devotion, strength, and unwavering love for her child, even amidst illness, will continue to shape his life in profound and lasting ways.

Alexis leaves to cherish her precious memory her beloved son, Aven Pettiford; her parents, Alfred and Quetta Long; her siblings, Eboni Long and Alex Long, all of the home; her grandmother, Ida Louise Lawson; seven aunts, five uncles, and five great-aunts; her special friend, Justin Pettiford; and her best friends, Miah Faggart and Josie Berry. She is also survived by a host of cousins, extended family members, and dear friends.

Funeral will be 12:00pm Saturday, visitation will be 11:00am to 12:00pm at Mt Zion AME Church. Burial will be in Hillsborough City Cemetery.

Public viewing will Friday 10:00am to 5:00pm at Chavis Parker Funeral Home
