Ashli Marie Jenkins was born on July 7th, 2003, in Provo, Utah, to parents Evan and Kristine Jenkins. She was the second of four children, with an older sister, Annie, and two younger brothers, Kendall and Seth. Ashli’s love for her family ran deeper than words could ever fully express. Her love and passion for them is endless and unwavering. Ashli felt most herself, fulfilled, and content when she was with her family. She treasured every moment spent with them. Whether they were out riding four wheelers, camping, going out to eat, or simply watching baseball games. These memories were her happiness and wherever her family was, is where she wanted to be. They were the most important thing to her.
Ashli was born with creative hands and a unique way of seeing the world, always noticing beauty where others might not. That artistic spirit flourished in her art classes, where her talent was recognized and stood out amongst others. Her work was often chosen as the best in the class which was a clear testament to her gift. Ashli carried that same dedication and care into her education at Mountainland Technical College where she earned her dental assisting certificate. It was more than a career path for her, it was a way to help others feel confident in themselves. She found real fulfillment in helping patient’s smile a little brighter, knowing she’d made even a small difference in someone’s day.
From a young age, Ashli had a tender love for animals; especially cats and dogs. Her beloved yorkie, Billie, held a special place in her heart and was always by her side. Some of Ashli’s happiest moments were spent during family getaways to Wyoming, where she loved the open skies, the peaceful pace of life, and the joy of being with her Wyoming cousins and family. Ashli had a genuine love for all things country that rooted in her father’s upbringing on the Jenkins family farm. She adored every part of it, from the rustic charm of country jewelry and clothing to the simple activities that brought people together.
Ashli Marie was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her faith was a guiding light in her life, shaping her values, her compassion, and her dreams. One of Ashli’s deepest desires was to serve a mission. She longed to travel somewhere exotic to share the gospel and connect with people from different walks of life. Her heart was full of purpose and love, and she yearned to spread that light to others through her faith.
Ashli Marie Jenkins is a daughter, sister, dog mom, devoted follower of Christ and so much more! She will forever be remembered for her radiant spirit, her boundless creativity, her fearless boldness, quick wit and humor, and most of all, the deep and abiding love she had for her family. Ashli Marie’s light will continue to live on in every life she touched!

May 9, 2025 at 2:25 pmAs her older cousin Ashli radiated pure joy and love as a little girl, her energy exuded from her, she was contagious, and I loved playing with her and likely ran several miles with her on my back for a “piggy back” ride session at the Woodland Hills house. I will surely miss her and wish all her closest family and friends my best and condolences, wish us all strength and courage as we remember and honor her memory.

May 23, 2025 at 7:06 pmEvan, my heart goes out to you. I learned of your baby girl through a friend of yours and just wanted you to know that I know the pain of losing a daughter. My 15 yr old daughter took her life in 2012 and it seems like yesterday. If anything positive can come from it, it would be a miracle. I would love to help anyone that is going through this, by offering a shoulder and maybe some support. A listening ear… please reach out to me if you feel a desire to talk with someone who understands. Again, my heart aches for you and your family.
