Obituary: Ashley Nichole Gleason

It is with great anguish, and great sorrow, that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, sister and mother, Ashley Nichole Gleason.

Ashley Nichole Gleason was born to Joanna C. Dunn and Timothy E. Gleason on June 24th 1987 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and died on March 3rd 2025.

Ashley’s brilliant light in our lives will forever be remembered by her generosity of spirit, kindness, compassion, vast capacity to love and her determination to overcome challenges with grace.

Ashley approached life with joy, appreciation for her brother, selfless dedication for her children, and a desire to create beauty all around her.

Ashley’s laughter, like music, filled the room with happiness. Her smile melted your heart and the glint of gold in her eyes made you feel like you were home. Ashley was always unapologetically authentic.

Ashley was an accomplished and remarkably talented stylist & colorist. She loved music, art, baking, gardening and dancing in the rain… but what she loved most of all, was spending time with her children.

Ashley dedicated her life to finding hope and bringing solutions to complex situations while enduring challenges with grace. Her determination to be the best version of herself was a constant work in progress and her sacrifices will never be forgotten. Her capacity for unconditional love will be our example moving forward. She will forever be the brightest star in our galaxy.

Ashley leaves behind her mother, Joanna Dunn, father, Timothy Gleason, children, Pierce Sedillo & Poppy Rose, brother, Rayne Dodson, stepmother, Christine Gleason, stepsisters, Kim Starks & Jenna Chavez, grandparents, Frederick & Rosa Dunn, and Earl & Darla Gleason along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces and a plethora of friends.
