Ashlee Smoot May 5th 1982-March 12th 2016

The moment I feared for the last 17 months became a reality last night.  At 11:37 pm Saturday March 12th 2016 my sweet Ashlee took her final mortal breathe.  She was surrounded by all of her family and peacefully moved on to the next journey.  She no longer hurts, no longer feels pain, and no longer has to be worried.   For days friends and family visited with her, and spent the last precious moments of her life with her.  She made the moments count and provided us with memorable moments we will treasure forever.  She was so so strong, she didn't want to give in, but finally her little body gave into the light and warmth, and moved on to live with her Heavenly Parents again.  She has been and is so much to so many.  She taught us how to live a better life, gave us such a deep perspective none of us will ever be the same.
My heart is truly broken...the pain and sadness I feel is something I will never truly be able to descride.  However I know Ash is so happy now.  She is looking down on us all with that perfect understanding, and perfect love we all long for.  Although there will never be an explanation someone can give me in this life, she now knows the reasons why she had to walk such a difficult and painful road.  She is free.  She can run and jump and play again.
As she approached death the veil had been thin at times.  I know right where she is...and that place is perfect.  That place doesn't have cancer...that place only has LOVE and LIGHT.

A few days before she passed we talked about our lives...we were both able to say that we have no regrets...Ashlee lived a life that she was proud of...a life we were all proud of.

Ashlee- We all love and miss you so much.  We will all forever be touched by who you were...Thank you for everything you gave to us.  You are loved by so many!

We will be having her viewing this coming Friday the 18th from 6-8pm at the Kamas stake center, and Funeral services this coming Saturday the 19th at 11am at the same location.  I will post more details as we get closer.

  1. You probably don't remember me, but Ashlee and I were visiting teaching partners in the canyon rim ward a few years back. She was such an amazing example to me of love and service! Anytime one of our sisters needed something by the time I called her she had already taken them a meal and helped with anything they needed! I am so grateful I had that small moment to get to know her and be touched by her amazing light and example! My heart is so broken for you and your sweet kids! Please know you and your family will be in our prayers❤️

  4. Knowing you, Audy, and the exceptional person you are tells me that Ashlee was just as wonderful. Maybe even more so because as they say, "Beside every good man is an even better woman." I barely knew Ashlee but the few times I was graced with her presence are memorable for me. We were pregnant at the same time with both of our pregnancies and both times I saw her I was in awe of her beauty. She looked way better with twins than me with my one. :) Reading and hearing about the kind of special person she is makes me wish I could have been in her company more. I will never forget her. I wish to honor her by living more purposefully; with more love, more patience, more forgiveness, more service. Thank you for sharing her with "us." Thank you for sharing your experiences together and especially the feelings of your heart. You and your sweet family will continue to be in my prayers. May God bless you with comfort at this time and in the days to come. Much love to you all. Nicole Foust Callister

  5. I love you Audy. I so admire the family you and Ashlee created, the life you lived fully, the love you shared to help us as a family grow closer. This morning we read in Mosiah 15 and how comforting it was to read of the first resurrection. Our hearts are heavy to lose this angel on earth, and for the days, months, years ahead for you and your little ones. Yet we rejoice in the Plan of Salvation and eternal families, and are so grateful to have had a small part in her amazing life. She made us better. We will actively work to lift your burden, as your is our family, we are here for you stronger than ever. Love you and the kiddos my brother. Love Jason & Tami and family

  16. BeautifuL words! I love the part about her perfect knowledge. I'm ready for us all to have that. So I guess we have to keep on doing what Ashlee would be shouting for us to do now that she knows. Thanks for sharing your heart Audy!
