It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Ashley Michelle Swihart who passed away peacefully at home on November 1, 2024.

Ashley was born on July 7, 1984 to Jim and Carol Swihart of Canton, Ohio.

The love of her life was her daughter Reagan, of whom she was incredibly proud and lovingly called her “Boo.” Ashley and Reagan shared a love of art and music.

Ashley graduated from Tippecanoe High School in Tipp City, Ohio in 2002. She attended Ohio State University and the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). She graduated as an Industrial Designer in 2006 from SCAD.

After graduating she moved to Dallas, Texas, where she developed an appreciation for cowgirl boots and made many close friends with whom she enjoyed concerts and dancing.

Ashley had a soft spot for animals of all kinds, especially her dog Blanche.

Ashley was a talented artist who enjoyed woodworking, painting, drawing, and crafting. She was recognized as a Master Woodworker by the Texas Woodworkers Association.

She is survived by her daughter Reagan, parents Jim and Carol Swihart, sister Amy Sapola (Matt Sapola), and niece Gabriella and nephew Rockwell and numerous beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Ashley was a beautiful soul with the kindest heart for which words can not describe how much she will be missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Ohio this Spring.

In lieu of flowers we would appreciate you taking time to remember Ashley and the ways in which she touched your life.
