It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Ashley Marie Evans, 36, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Born on June 14, 1990, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Ashley grew up in Gilbert, Arizona. She graduated from Basha High School and had a successful career in healthcare management.
Ashley lived life loudly with a laugh that carried across the room and into our hearts. The love, compassion, and care she freely gave were gifts to all who were fortunate enough to meet her.
Above all else, Ashley was a loving mother. Her children were the light of her life. The strong foundation she built will follow her children throughout their lives.
Ashley is survived by her parents, Ian and Kim Overman. Her children, Faith Evans and Kade Valdez. Her siblings, Jordan Hathaway, Jakob Bustamante, Sarah Evans, Stormi Nelson (Alaska), and Grayson Eichelberger Evans. Her parenting team, Aaron Markiewicz, Mat and Courtlynn Valdez. She is also survived by Roberta Wilson, Tim Evans, and more aunts, uncles, and cousins than anyone can count.
She was preceded in death by her first mother, Julia Kummer.

Ashley was an amazing friend and coworker. I had the privilege of working alongside her for the last couple of years, and during that time, we became more than just coworkers. We talked every single day, and I will truly miss her laughter and that unforgettable giggle.
There is definitely a void that her absence leaves behind, and my heart is heavy knowing she is no longer here with us. But I find comfort in knowing that she is now resting in the presence of God.
My deepest condolences go out to Ashley’s family and loved ones. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May God comfort, strengthen, and keep you all in the days ahead. ❤️🙏🏽
I grew up with Ashley. We drove to school together. Lived right next door to each other. She was someone that had electric energy. Very Kind, beautiful, loving, and unforgettable. Rest in Peace Ashley.
