Las Vegas, NV - Ashley Ann Hilliard, 39, of Las Vegas, passed away unexpectedly on August 3, 2025.

Ashley was born on November 21, 1985, in Las Vegas to her parents, Debra Hilliard and the late R. Sam Hilliard.

Her first and greatest love was animals, especially cats. As a child, she would call every pet store in the city for prices on small animals and was eventually banned when they started recognizing her voice. In her adult life, she was a talented bartender, but her primary devotion was always to her family, whom she loved and adored.

Ashley is survived by her mother, Debra Hilliard; her brothers, Casey Hilliard and Garrett Galindo-Hilliard; her nephew, Ryan Hilliard, whom she adored; her aunt and uncle, Angie and Garry Tomashowski; and her cousins, Brandon (Josh) Tomashowski, Katie (Steven) Corr with their daughters Peyton and Rylee, and Taylor (Mikey) Plantin with their son Remy.

She is now reunited with those who preceded her in death: her long-time partner and love, Mike Peccole; her father, R. Sam Hilliard; her older brother, Ryan Hilliard; and her former sister-in-law and nephew's mother, Denielle Planck-Pichette.

She was and always will be our "Ash." We love you forever and always.

A private service will be held for the family. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Ashley's name to Nevada SPCA.
