Ashlee Thomas Obituary

THOMAS , Ashlee N. Ashlee Nicole Thomas, 23, of Baltimore, passed away June 5, 2013 at Loma Linda Medical Center in Murrieta, CA, following a courageous battle with melanoma. Her loving friends and family were by her side when she surrendered to the aggressive cancer. Ashlee was born to Michael and Carla Thomas of Baltimore on June 2, 1990. Ashlee attended St. Anthony of Padua Elementary and Middle School, The Catholic High School of Baltimore, class of 2008 (Lux Tua Luceat); and CCBC-Essex. Ashlee never met a challenge she didn't meet head on. She was an avid reader and loved spending days at the beach. Ashlee was a devoted animal lover and true fashionista; her fun-loving, hard working attitude and affection for spending time with friends and family drew many to her. She loved life and had an infectious laugh that could light up a room. Ashlee is survived by her parents Michael and Carla Thomas of Baltimore MD; as well as her sisters Krystal Thomas, Brittney Koballa, and Chloe Koballa. She also leaves her paternal grandmother Joanne Thomas of Baltimore; maternal grandmother Mary Beatrice Sidiropolous of Myrtle Beach, SC. She is also survived by Marvin Egolf (Cindy) and several aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of friends. Ashlee is preceeded in death by her paternal and maternal grandfathers; Edwin H. Thomas, Jr. and Nick Sidiropolous.
A memorial service will be held at 11 AM on Saturday, June 29 at St. Anthony of Padua, Baltimore. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donations to Team Ashlee Thomas (information available via family) or to "Look Good Feel Better" in Ashlee's name; the latter being a foundation dedicated to helping women with cancer.

I love and miss you so much, Ashlee. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and the times we spent together. Everywhere I look there's a memory.

I was in Los Angeles a few days before she passed away and I feel so sad that I didn't get to visit her. It's hard to believe, but I know she was a grateful person for everything. She was always optimistic no matter what and I really look up to her for that. I value the time I had ever spent with her because that was enough to impact me. She was a great person, and I'm sure she will be missed.

I met Ashlee through her sister Chloe a couple years ago. Even though I only met her a few times, Ashlee was one of those people who had such a vibrant, sweet personality. She was such a beautiful person inside and out! My heart and prayers go out to her entire family.

June 21, 2013

Rest in peace Ashlee. I knew Ashlee through my son Brandon Russell. They were together for several years and even though they never reconnected I loved Ashlee. She was a beautiful young woman inside and out. No parent should ever have to lose a child and certainly not to such a horrible and cruel disease. My heart goes out to her family and I hope you find peace knowing she is not suffering. Carla you stood by your daughter and remained strong through her struggle. I wish you peace! Love to all.

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks already. I've thought about you everyday, several times a day. You were such a huge part of my life, everything some how reminds me of you. It's hard to accept that you won't be around anymore. I know you would have loved to see how much everyone loved you. I hope you can see from wherever you are. I'll always love you and you'll never be able to be replaced.

I didn't know Ashlee personally, but she is an old friend of my best friend Andrea Deugwillo. Andrea was saddened when she heard of Ashlee's struggle with cancer and even though I didn't know Ashlee, I felt the need to let her know I was rooting for her too. From what I did know about her, she was a total sweet heart.
