Alexis was born on May 22, 1989, in Hamburg, Iowa. She was the youngest of four children born to Robert and Michele (Burlingham) Warnemunde. They moved to Wall Lake when she was three years old. Alexis was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith and was a member of Peace Lutheran Church in Wall Lake. She was presently a senior at Wall Lake View Auburn High School.
