Ashley Buchanan Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 1, 2025.
Ashley Nicole Buchanan, age 31, passed away on July 18, 2025. Born in Media, Pennsylvania, Ashley was the daughter of Samuel P. and Stacey (Raver) Buchanan. She graduated from the Delaware Military Academy. Ashley was incredibly fun loving and had a great sense of humor. She was easy to talk to, never passed judgement on anyone, and full of life. Ashley was predeceased by her beloved dog, Bronson, and we take comfort in knowing that they are now reunited.
Ashley is survived by her parents, Stacey Buchanan and Samuel Buchanan; her brothers, Sam and Jack Buchanan; her maternal grandmother, Teresa Daily; her paternal grandmother, Judy Holloway; her maternal aunt, Jill Stewart (Dan); her paternal aunts, Anita Neader and Lois Buchanan Morton; and her cousins, Andrew Stewart, Sam Morton, Leah Morton, and Doug Neader.
Funeral services will be held privately.
