Ashley Hannan Obituary
She leaves her parents, Earlene M. (Collette) Hannan of Marlborough and David M. Hannan of Worcester; her brothers, Brett M. Hannan of Spencer, Zachary Hannan of Worcester and Jacob Hannan of Worcester and a sister Samantha Hannan of Worcester.
She also leaves her maternal grandparents, Henry and Janet (Gamache) Collette of Pompano Beach, FL and her paternal grandmother, Nancy (Charron) Hannan of Worcester, and her boyfriend, Steven Pereira of Holden. She also leaves many aunts, uncles and cousins.
She was born in Ware and was a 2005 graduate of the David Prouty High School in Spencer where she was a cheerleader and gymnast. She also graduated in 2009 from Worcester State College Magna Cum Laude with a Degree in Psychology.
She was a personal trainer at the World's Gym in Worcester and she was a member of the Fitness Universal Team. She was a competitive fitness model throughout the country and won numerous awards in her field.
She lit up a room the second she walked in, not only with her beauty but with the broad smile on her face and her caring attitude. She was loved by all she came in contact with and she will be sadly missed.
Following cremation, relatives and friends are invited to attend calling hours on Saturday (July 24, 2010) from 9 to Noon in the John P. Rowe Funeral Home, Inc., 57 Main St., Marlborough, with a funeral Mass to be celebrated at 1:30 p.m. (July 24, 2010) in Christ The King Church, 1052 Pleasant St., Worcester. Burial will be at a later date in St. John's Cemetery, Worcester.

Ashley, I did not know you for too long. However, it was still enough time for me to see what a motivated, positive and supportive savage sister you were. The loss is great. Your passing has caused so many grief. I know you are shining down on us. “Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” My greatest condolences to your family. May GOD be with you at this time.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ashley from working with her while she was in school. I know she made many friends and was quick with a smile.
I know there is no amount of words that can fill the void she will leave in your lives, but hopefully seeing how many people she touched and how many people she shared that smile with can help with the healing. Blessed be.
