Ashley Busby Obituary
Ashley Lynne Busby
February 4, 1999 - March 15, 2018
Ashley returned to the safe loving arms of her Savior on March 15, 2018.
Our sweet Ashley Lynne Busby was born on February 4, 1999 in Mesa Arizona to Brady and Sarah Busby. Shortly after she was born, her dad joined the Army and they began their adventure as a military family. Her sister Emma was born just a year after Ashley. They were especially close and share a special bond being each other's rock wherever they landed. As part of a military family, she traveled to several countries and made close friends around the world who remain very dear to her.
Ashley was a talented artist. She carried a sketch book with her at all times and could produce an incredible piece in minutes. Ashley loved to sing, and performed with her high school chamber and jazz choirs. She could often be heard in her bedroom playing the ukulele and singing her favorite songs.
Ashley was always curious and wanted to know about everything, especially animals. She fell in love with the study of invertebrates in fourth grade when she kept pet snails. This love continued as she took biology and zoology classes in high school. In college, she was studying to become a malacologist, a scientist who studies mollusks. Ashley had a strong desire to make a difference in the world.
As we mourn the death of our sweet daughter, sister and friend, we are comforted to know that she is in the arms of her loving Savior, Jesus Christ. We are grateful for the knowledge of the atonement and resurrection.
She leaves behind her dad; Brady, mom; Sarah, sister; Emma, and her sweetheart Trevan. Ashley also leaves behind numerous grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, dogs, snails, fish and other various creatures.

I remember Ashley as a wide-eyed second grade student who was a eager and determined learner. A bright smile was always on her face. She was a thoughtful person who treated others with kindness and respect, which made other children seek her company. Ashley was an absolute delight to have as a student. Her joyful spirit was shared with everyone. Ashley made the world a better place. May her spirit and love live on for all who knew and loved her.
