On March 15, Ashley Richard Trenner of Kirkland went to be with the Lord after her courageous seven year battle with metastatic melanoma.

Born on May 16, 1972 in Pittsburgh, Pa., she moved to Woodinville with her family in 1976.

A 1990 graduate of Woodinville High School, Ashley is known or loving the color pink, Hello Kitty, Tiffany & Co., glitter and being an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Following graduation, Ashley was employed at Nordstrom, AT&T Wireless, GLY construction, a barista and manager at Northwest Espresso in Scottsdale, Ariz. , and other espresso stands on the Eastside.

Since 2004, Ashley made friends in an instant with her customers at Pub 85 on Rose Hill in Kirkland where she was known as “the boss.” She was loved for her infectious personality and for leaving a trail of joy and glitter.

She was interviewed twice by King 5 News Healthlink, www.king5.com/health/young-woman-wih-skin-cancer, warning about the deadly consequences of using tanning beds.

Her brave testimony continues to influence people who see this segment to abstain from using tanning beds and not to procrastinate getting regular skin check-ups.

Ashley is survived by her parents Robert and Karen Warnick Trenner of Kirkland, brother Darin of Gilbert of Arizona, her faithful boyfriend Jim Temple of Woodinville, and nine extraordinary girlfriends: Tressa Watanabe Coy, Cary Davis, Simona Sawson, Tracie Bailey Fish, Jenni Griffin Haldi, Candy Ariz Marshall, Karen Rees, Michelle Schuler and Lori Stewart Smith, all of whom Ashley considered to be her family.

In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to Aim at Melanoma, www.aimatmelanoma.org/en/aim-or-action/memorial-donation.html.

A celebration of her life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 13 at First Presbyterian Church, 1717 Bellevue Way N.E. in Bellevue. A reception will be held at the Westin Hotel on Bellevue Way in Bellevue following the service.
