Ashley Terrill Wright, 40, died unexpectedly on May 6, 2021. Ashley was born on July 30, 1980 in Columbia, Mo to Lynn and Hewitt. After graduating from Missouri State University in 2002 with a degree in Electronic Arts, Ashley relocated back to Kansas City and adopted her two kitten fur-sons, Salem and Suede. Once moved into her condo downtown, she threw on some flip-flops and began her exploration of everything Kansas City has to offer.
By day, Ashley worked for a handful of companies in the Kansas City area as an interactive web designer, but also established a boutique studio in partnership with a friend to provide their expertise to others and run their own shop. Along with her brother, Stuart, she also started a company to rent out homes they had worked to rehabilitate.
Her family and friends remember Ashley’s huge heart, undying loyalty, sneaky wit, ridiculous trivia knowledge, weird diet, and love of all things Jaws. Throughout her life Ashley has been loved and supported through many strong and joyful friendships.
Ashley was greeted in the afterlife by her father, Hewitt. She is survived by her mother, Lynn and siblings; Preston, Stuart, Kyle and Casey. She is so very missed.
Many people struggle with mental health and addiction, and during the isolation of the pandemic this has been even more difficult. We lost Ashley to an alcohol dependence. This disease is difficult to identify, and troubling for people to admit. If you are facing these kinds of challenges, please reach out to those around you or be open to professional help. You are not alone. We would rather be by your side through recovery then be here without you.
Please join us to celebrate the life and love of Ashley on June 12th at Bar K between 2:30 - 5pm in The Lounge. Come and go as you please and bring your fur children along. I
n lieu of flowers, please support Ashley’s love of animals with a donation to kcpetproject.org or consider a donation to an addiction treatment center.
