It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Piper Alexis Carter, age 19, (Olathe, KS) on April 29, 2023. Piper was born on July 9, 2003 to Shawn and Renee Carter (Olathe, KS) where she entered this world with her contagious smile that never faded. After Piper graduated from Blue Valley West High School in 2021, she went on to study Pre-Nursing at The University of Kansas. She was a part-time CNA at Children’s Mercy Hospital, a job that she was so proud of, and so well suited for her due to her love for children and the desire to serve others.

Piper had a fierce love for her family and friends. Piper’s strong faith and inner spirit led her to the path of helping others. Piper was not only invested in becoming the best person she could be, but also dedicated her time and energy every single day to lift up others around her.

Piper joined Alpha Chi Omega Sorority in 2021. She was involved in intermural sports, Homecoming Committee, Rock Chalk Review and Alpha Hours. She was further involved with the University of Kansas as a member of the KU Club Soccer Team, Stumo, and many other activities even including powder puff football.

Piper is survived by her parents Shawn and Renee Carter, and sister Peyton Carter, (Olathe, KS), Grandmothers Debbie Carter (KC,KS) and Kathleen Wolfe (Salina, KS) as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Piper is preceded in death by her grandfathers Mark Carter (KC,KS) and Bob Begnoche (Salina, KS).
