With heartfelt sympathy, we extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Ashley B. Tucker, who passed away on October 19, 2025, at Loyola Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois, at the age of 37. Her sudden passing has left a profound void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
Born on April 11, 1988, in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Ashley was a devoted mother, cherished grandmother, and a beloved member of both the Watseka and Milford communities. She was the daughter of Chris Tucker and Merana Hollis, and her life was a testament to love, resilience, and dedication to family.
Ashley’s greatest joy came from spending time with her children and grandchildren, whom she adored beyond measure. She is survived by her daughter, Cloey Lietz of Danville, her son, Colton Leitz of St. Charles, and two beloved grandsons who brought her endless pride and happiness. To her family, Ashley was a guiding light—always present, always caring, and always willing to lend her heart and hands to those in need.
Beyond her deep love for her family, Ashley was passionate about cooking, spending time outdoors, and creating lasting memories with those close to her. Whether she was preparing a favorite meal or enjoying nature, she brought warmth, laughter, and a comforting presence to every moment. Her ability to make others feel welcome and loved was a defining trait—one that will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
A memorial service will be held in Ashley’s honor on November 4, 2025, at Knapp Funeral Home in Watseka. Family, friends, and members of the community are invited to come together to celebrate a life filled with compassion, joy, and love.
As we mourn Ashley’s passing, we also celebrate the legacy she leaves behind—a legacy of selfless love, strength in adversity, and an unwavering devotion to her family. May her memory live on in the hearts of those she touched, and may she rest in eternal peace.
