July 30, 1987 – October 16, 2024
Albion, Nebraska (formerly of Thomas, WV)
It is with great sadness that the loving family of Ashley Nicole (Currence) Pedro announce her passing at the age of 37. For the past three years, she fought a brave and relentless fight against Stage IV Colon Cancer. She will be fondly remembered for her loving ways, loyal friendship, love of adventure, creativity, and strong work ethic. She was the kindest human on the planet.
Ashley is survived by her loving husband Josh Pedro and his two children, Kolby and Alexis (Albion, NE). She is the daughter of Lisa Roth (Thomas, WV). Her three siblings include sisters: Amber Fisher and Alexis Carr (Brandon) and younger brother Nicholas. She so loved her niece Aubrey Draper from Virginia and her two nephews, Lincoln and Rhett Carr, from West Virginia. Ashley is survived by numerous Aunts, Uncles and Cousins as well as her grandparents Jean & Monty Christo from Mesa, AZ. She also had hundreds of supportive friends from all over the globe.
Ashley was a graduate of WVU Potomac State College earning an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice in the Class of 2022 (Amazingly, her degree was completed post colon cancer diagnosis) and graduated from Tucker County High School Class of 2005. Born in Morgantown, West Virginia, Ashley had a childhood surrounded by a large family and many friends in the beautiful WV Mountains. She was preceded in death by her biological father in 2009.
Ashley will be remembered for her common-sense approach to life (optimistic and realistic), her bravery and her loving ways. Her family and friends can take comfort in knowing she fought the colon cancer fight with every fiber of her being.
Colon cancer is one of the toughest cancers in existence. In her passing, Ashley wanted to urge everyone to get timely colonoscopies and never forget that many victims do not survive five years post diagnosis. Colorectal cancer can only be identified with regular colonoscopies.
