Ashli Fleener Obituary
Ashli Fleener, unexpectedly and against everyone's will, left for an extended vacation on Saturday, May 24, 2025-destination: a hot tub in heaven. While the hot tub should come as no surprise to those who knew her best, Ashli's loved ones all wish she'd have just put one in her backyard instead.
Born on July 3, 1986, in Bedford, Ashli spent 38 years perfecting the art of sarcasm. Whether it was her ability to always find the best deals on a hotel, her unmatched Facebook detective skills, or her talent for turning everyday stories into epic sagas. Ashli was truly one of a kind. Prior to motherhood, she managed a Subway where she may have taken five-dollar footlong to mean you could get 5 footlongs for a dollar. Allegedly.
She married her Viking husband, Kevin, in 2011. And despite what she may have told many of you, she loved those Renaissance Fairs he spent the next 13 years taking her to. The two of them created four of the most remarkable and beautiful children to ever grace this Earth: Jensen (13), Annistyn (10), Simon (7), and Andersyn (2). After having her first child, Kevin worked tirelessly to provide so that Ashli could stay home full time with their growing family. Ashli was a devoted mother. If you've had the pleasure of meeting any of her children, it's easy to see that she was also a fantastic one.
Along with her husband and children, Ashli is survived by Keith Cobb; mother, Tamara (Magnus) Hughes; stepfather, Bill Hughes; brother, David Cobb; sister, Tiffani (Devin) Hughes; a slew of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and likely, some foes. She loved who she loved fiercely and had no qualms about putting you right in your place if needed. She selflessly gave her time to many, always willing to extend a helping hand and be a listening ear. Her vacation has left all who loved her a little jealous that we can't share in the peace and quiet she's experiencing now.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the GoFundMe account set up to assist Kevin and the kids with expenses @ https://gofund.me/0e0652b3.
The family will receive friends and family from 10:00am to 1:00pm on Friday, May 30, 2025, at the Ferguson-Lee Chapel of Thorne-George Family Funeral Homes in Bedford. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 1:00pm with Pastor Jerry Hillenburg officiating. Following the service friends and family are invited to meet at LawCo Sports from 1:30pm to 3:30pm where food and stories will be shared, and laughter encouraged-just as she would have wanted it to be.
In the words of The Proclaimers, "I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more." We'll all be havering until we meet again.
