Ashley Porter

Ashley Nicole Porter, age 34, of Wabash, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 13, 2024, with her loving family by her side. Ashley was born on August 8, 1990 to her parents, Charles Porter and Kimberly (Moser) Stout.  

Ashley graduated from Wabash High School in the class of 2008. Ashley served for a short time in the United States Army and was very proud of her service. She also held jobs as a caregiver and was quite gifted with children.  

Ashley was a free spirit. She was always finding an excuse to have a party and bring her loved ones together. She enjoyed roller skating, relaxing at the beach (she loved the water), and cuddling with her animals. More than anything, Ashley was incredibly family oriented, and her kids were her whole world. Her love is sure to follow them for the rest of their lives.  

Ashley has not only been an inspiration to her family, but also to friends and acquaintances. She fought a cancer battle for nearly 6 years. Her will and determination have been incredibly impactful. Ashley’s example to continue fighting even when things seemed too hard will forever encourage those who knew and loved her.  

Those left to carry on Ashley’s legacy of love are her parents, Charles Porter, Kim (Randal) Stout; children, Autumn Marie Hall, Kyrie Elaine Hensley, James Denim Hensley; sister, Sherri (Paul) Vasquez; nephews, Michael and Mark; niece, Lily; and boyfriend, Matt Cole.  

Ashley was welcomed into Heaven by her brother, Michael Ryan Porter.  

A private family service was held for Ashley, and burial will take place at a later time. Information will be updated here when available.  

Taylor & Cowan Funeral Home is honored to serve the Porter family in their time of need. Please feel free to leave an online condolence or share a special memory of Ashley with her family on her tribute wall.
