Ashley loved everything sports from NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon to PBR, watching golf with her dad, and UF and USF Football. Her passions were traveling with family and girl trips with her mom, shopping and going out to eat with family and friends. She enjoyed listening to many genres of music such as country, instrumental and opera and loved sharing her sweet voice through song. Ashley was a dreamer and loved everything royal including British Royalty, Disney and princesses.
Her greatest love in life was her love for her family and her unconditional love for others including her fur family Misty and Tasha. She had a unique gift of remembering every single phone number and name of people she encountered along life’s path. Her sense of humor, her laughter and joy were contagious.
Ashley was preceded in death by her grandparents, Manuel & Marguerite Rocha; Ralph & Ardath Snuggs. She is survived by her loving parents, Mike & Peggy Ann Snuggs; brother, Michael Corey Snuggs (wife/sister Jessica); aunts; uncles; cousins and friends who brought her so much joy. Special angels in Ashley’s life who loved her unconditionally are Barbara Washburn, Tina & Grace Pipp, Sandra Gout, Gail Vaccaro, and Summer Stipe & the Sullivan Family.
