Jerica Lynn Ash

Our world went a little darker on Sunday May 20, 2018. Jerica Lynn Ash, daughter, sister, mother, and friend left this life unexpectedly, but that was Jerica. She never followed any plan, her free spirit went with the moment. Her path was always her path, and she will be missed beyond measure. Her fiery spirit, infectious laughter, and lively sense of humor could light up a room. She always had a deep sense of care and connection with many of the people she met, especially the less fortunate. We all wish she had stayed a little longer, but she was off to a new adventure to see family and friends who have passed before. She is survived by her mother Char Woodward (Dennis); father Jim Ash (Tanna); sisters Seanta (Pita) Mafoa, and Keeli (Casey) Espinoza; brothers Michael Maestas and Landry Maestas; grandmother Gayle Thompson; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and three beautiful gifts she gave us: Jaydelynn Peterson (10), Jaxxon Richins (7) and Journee Ash (4). She was so proud of her children and loved them dearly. These little lights will always be reminders of Jerica and the beauty she brought into this world. A celebration of Jerica's life will be held Sunday, May 27, 2018, at Murray Park, 5300 South 495 East, Murray UT from 12:00 to 3:00 pm. In honor of Jerica's love for the University of Utah, please show her how much we miss her and wear U of U attire. Families are encouraged to attend.
