Ashley M. Pelletier
EUSTIS -Ashley M. Pelletier, 34, of Eustis, Maine, passed away on March 5, 2026, surrounded by family and loved ones following a valiant and arduous years-long battle with cancer. She faced every challenge of her fight with remarkable strength, immense determination, and unwavering faith–cascading inspiration onto those who knew and loved her.
Ashley was born on March 27, 1991, in Skowhegan, Maine. She was a graduate of Skowhegan Area High School (Class of 2009) and the University of Maine at Augusta (Class of 2014), where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Justice Studies.
Ashley worked as a pharmacy technician at Walmart in Skowhegan, forming enduring friendships with colleagues before transitioning to a career as an insurance agent at Skowhegan Insurance Agency, working alongside her mom. She often enjoyed getaways to the beach; visits to Longfellow’s Greenhouse; hunting; shopping, usually seeking the rush of a deal; arriving whenever “she” was ready; various holiday traditions; and spending quality time with her family, friends, and her dog, Ripley. Despite her challenging diagnosis at 31, she remained focused on her bond with Ripley, her faith, and her love for the outdoors.
Ashley leaves behind her parents and a younger brother who treasure her. She is a vibrant pillar and the cherished daughter of her mother, Susan (Turcotte) Pelletier of Norridgewock, and her father and his wife, Michael and Mary-Jane (Roullard) Pelletier of Embden. A fierce protector and sidekick until the end, Ashley remains irreplaceably entwined in the heart of her brother, Benjamin Pelletier of Norridgewock.
Additionally, Ashley is survived by her tenderhearted grandmother, Lois Turcotte (wife of the late Leonel H. “Lee” Turcotte) of Cornville; her fiancé, William Schnorr of Eustis; a large circle of loving aunts, uncles, and cousins; the warmly welcoming extended family of her stepmother, Mary-Jane; and many friends who will miss her. She is predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Harold and Helen Pelletier of Skowhegan.
Her family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the medical teams at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Andwell Hospice House in Auburn for their exceptionally dedicated care and support throughout Ashley’s journey.
A memorial service will be held at Somerset Valley Remembrance Center in Skowhegan on March 24 at 1:00 p.m.
