September 16, 2025 Ashley was one my best friends in the world. I wasn't able to give one of my closest friends one last goodbye bc I was in the hospital. My heart is absolutely broken. She was one of the most beautiful people both inside & out I will miss her dearly! She would do anything for anyone she loved. This life and this world will not be the same without her here. Ashley worked her butt off to get into Duquesne she really did! She was not a quitter and she will always remain to be one of the most loyal and lovable friend that I've ever had.

Debbie Markwood and Family September 09, 2025 Ashley was my summer babysitter and her mom is a family friend. She was so awesome. She used to take us everywhere. The Brentwood Park, the pool, and the library. Other babysitters would just sleep. I entered high school in 2001, but Ashley really inspired me to join the band front. She taught me how to twirl a baton, and all of Brentwood's half-time show dance moves. She was always smiling and laughing. She will be immensely missed by her friends and family. My heart is with her family in this time of grief. ~Dana (Kunkel) Schwarz September 07, 2025 Ashley is one of the kindest, most thoughtful, sweetest, loving, and most understanding people I've ever met. She was a loyal and true friend to my son Zach and his wife April. She will be so missed by the many who loved her. September 06, 2025 Wendy, Doug and I are so sorry to hear of your loss.

Obituary For Ashley (Kearney) Flaherty
She met the love of her life, Kevin, while working at the Hays Moose Lodge 1436. Ashley was the queen of Halloween, with Kevin as her king, joining her in creative costumes year after year and eventually expanding this tradition to their nephews and Pomeranians. Ashley had a deep love for animals, a growing interest in golf and endless enthusiasm for traveling. Whether it was a cruise, a ski trip or a beach vacation, she enjoyed experiencing the world in any capacity. Her friends and family will remember Ashley for her ability to turn any moment into a celebration, her generosity, her twirl of a fire baton, and most of all, how strongly she loved. Photos & Video
