Ashley Fite Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 11, 2016.

Ashley was born on June 30, 1998 in Charleston, SC to Todd N. FIte and the late Melissa M. McLain. She was a current student at Holly Springs High School and planned to graduate Saturday. Her future was to continue her love for the military as she had already joined the Marines.

Ashley is remembered for her contagious smile. She always was happy and had a kind word to speak to everyone. Always wanting to help people even when she could walk away. Ashley made it a point to give you a hug and make you smile when you couldn't. She had a supportive and generous soul. The light will not shine as bright without her here.

Fite, of Four Oaks, NC; step-mother, Doris Fite, of Carthage, NC; sister, Caitlin Crosson, of Apex, NC; step-sisters: Ciera Jirouch and Samantha Lewis, of Carthage, NC; great-grandmother, Florine Goodwin, "Grandini", maternal grandparents: Alfred and Diana Mitchell, of Apex, NC; paternal grandparents: Peggy Fite and Paul Goodwin, of Cary, NC; aunts and uncles: Kent and Laura Fite, Four Oaks, NC; Cheri Fite, of Rocky Mount, NC; Todd and Wendy Mitchell, of Apex; cousins: Aaron and Colin Fite, Four Oaks, NC; Matthew and Ethan Mitchell and Austin and Tyler Edwards, all of Apex, NC.

I am only going to address Todd, Ashley's Dad on this post, and tell you how much I have cried in the past few days in my own private time. If there is one thing I have learned at work, it is how some treat a person like a stigma or a friend over such news. I have read so much of how Ashley always wore a smile from those that knew her. You don't need me to tell you, but for others reading this that did not know her as well, she really did. The first time I met you was the first time I met Ashley, when she was no more than 7 or 8 I would guess. The first thing she did upon meeting me was give me an enormous hug which took me aback, but that was who she was, ..and is.
I watched as my own daughter's face completely shattered at the news that came across the phone to her of her step sister and I want you to know how much we care about you and how much we love Ashley. There is no past tense with Love. It is eternal. She is truly in Gods arms. From my broken heart, I am truly sorry. Eric.

Ashley came into my life at the age of 6. From the very beginning she jumped right into our family circle. We lived a few miles apart and would get together often. She loved playing in the backyard with my sons Nick and Jack. When she came in to find me she would always smile and say "Aunt Nancy, can I help you with anything?" I only wish now I had stopped and appreciated her generous offers more. We get so busy and take our loved ones for granted. Please stop and take that extra minute and hug those you love and cherish. Ashley, when we meet again I would love nothing more to stand and talk while I wash and you dry the dishes!! Love you,Ashley
Last night my 11 year old son was saying his prayers and they always included Ciera,Samantha and Ashley. When he got to this part I was unsure how he would finish. He said Ciera,Samantha and God please take good care of Ashley. We all love you so much. There is a quote .

"Life is precious,love is all that really matters,and who we are in the end and how we've touched the lives of others is the legacy we leave behind" Erika Whitemore Godwin

Ashley,in your short 17 years you gave love and it is obvious how many lives you have touched your legacy my dear is quite amazing to have gained in such a short life!!! So proud to have been a part of your life. You are missed ❤❤❤❤❤

Ashley was the kindest and sweetiist girl whom we loved as though she was out very own granddaughter. She loved to visit us at our beach place and so loved playing with her cousins in the sand and ocean. She called us Mema and Bepa which came from Ciera. She had a great heart and a smile to match. She always wanted to help. We will miss her terribly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all her family. We now wait for that grand reunion in Heaven. May God keep His arms around all and remember Asley as that precious sweet lady she had become. We love you Asley with all our hearts. Love: Mema and Bepa

Ashley will always have a piece of my heart. She was one of my kindergarteners that I could never forget...always smiling, always laughing and always wanting to help others. I was so blessed that she came back into my life a few months ago when she walked into my kindergarten classroom again. I love you, Ashley, and know that you touched many lives here on Earth!

Ashley and I would play together as kids, we were always close. After I moved out of NC she would always joke that I had become more of city kid instead of a country "too worldly". I always loved coming back to visit her and her family, playing with the chickens and talking about what was new. I'm gonna miss watching you grow up alongside me. We'll catch up one day Ashley.

January 12, 2016

Tim and Ann McCrimmon

Our family was so fortunate to be blessed with Ashley's friendship, kindness and that incredible smile. She touched many people and leaving a lasting mark. Ashley's smile and laugh will never fade in our memories. Our prayers go out to her family and friends. God please embrace this incredible young lady. Love Tim, Ann, Patrick and Jack McCrimmon (Apex, NC)

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of such a young life. May the beautiful memories you shared bring you some comfort, along with these words, Phillipians 4:13 "For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power." God can give us the strength to cope even with death.

Ashley was the best friend/sister a person could ask for, she was always there for you when you had problems and would make you laugh. It's terrible something like this happened, but God is watching over her now and heaven has gotten such a beautiful angel now.
I love you so much Ashley and you will never be forgotten! Your always in my heart Love, Victoria (your school sister).
