Ashley Leahy Obituary

Ashley Genevieve Leahy, 32, of Cohasset, passed suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday morning, May 20, 2016. Born on March 15, 1984, Ashley is the daughter and second child of Daniel C. Leahy and the late Patricia A. (Cohn) Leahy (1965-2015). She is survived by her son Milo M. Leahy and 5 siblings Meagan K. Leahy, D. Crandon Leahy III, Tessa F. Leahy, Madeline P. Leahy and Sam J. Leahy all of Cohasset, MA as well as an extensive extended family of uncles, aunts and cousins. Ashley attended Cohasset schools and graduated from Notre Dame Academy, Hingham, Mass. in 2002. She was bright, talented, insanely energetic and had tremendous athletic skills. She grew up spending summers on the Cape, Sandy Beach and at Scituate Harbor Yacht Club. Ashley lit up a room from the very second she walked in. Her smile and charm made every single person feel like the most important person in the world. She loved fashion and had the best sense of style. Her enthusiastic spirit was contagious. She was very active and loved being around her friends and family. Milo was Ashleys pride and joy. He was everything to her. There was no greater love than what they shared. Her humor, wit, beauty and intelligence was unmatched and will be missed. May Ashley rest peacefully, with all the love and support she always poured out for those around her. A funeral Mass celebrated on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at 10 a.m. in St. Anthony Church, Cohasset. Visiting hours on Tuesday, May 24, 2016 from 4 - 8 p.m. in McNamara-Sparrell Funeral Home, 160 South Main St (across from St. Anthony Church), Cohasset. Interment private.

Dear Ashley and Milo,
My heart is broken. Ashley, you were a beautiful soul who weathered so many storms. I will always remember your kindness and strength even when you didn't realize it in yourself. You were as beautiful on the outside as you were on the inside. Your wit and personality were unsurpassed. I know how much your mother's passing affected you. I pray you are at peace with her in heaven. May god hold you and your mother in the palm of his hand and may Milo always walk in his light and love. My children and I will always be there for your sweet boy Milo. Your loss has left me with a hole in my heart. Love always and forever-HCM
