Ashley Anne Miller, age 37, passed away peacefully on February 17, 2026, at Hospice. Born on September 16, 1988, to Carla Kiefer and John Robert Lewis. Ashley was preceded in death by her beloved mother and father, as well as her maternal and paternal grandparents and great grandparents.
Ashley’s greatest joy and proudest accomplishment in life were her children, Presley Miller and Zane Miller, who were her absolute world. Every decision she made and every dream she carried was rooted in her love for them. She was a devoted and loving mother whose presence shall forever guide and protect them.
She is also survived by her sisters, Brittini (Casey) Long, Meghan Sanders, Kelly (Alan) Miller, and Nicole Fiske; her numerous nieces and nephews, whom she absolutely adored; siblings and extended family in Kentucky; and all her family members and dear friends whose lives she touched so deeply. A special thank you to her amazing partner, Michael Haffner, who loved her so and made sure she was taken care of over the last 8 months.
Ashley was quite the homemaker and chef. She loved all music, from Elvis and Reba to TLC and Rhianna, she knew the power of music to evoke emotion and tell a story. To know Ashley was to know her unforgettable sense of humor and quick wit. She was the kind of person who could light up a room with her laughter. She had a beautiful ability to connect with people, offering comfort, encouragement, and unwavering support. She had a way of making others feel seen and loved. Whether through quiet, intimate conversations or joyful, family gatherings, she created lasting memories to be treasured by all.
Ashley leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and fierce strength. Though her time here was far too short, the memories she created will be cherished forever.
