Ashley Marie Palestino passed away on November 3, 2025 in Jacksonville, FL. She was born on September 19, 1987 in Jacksonville, FL to Anthony and Nancy Palestino.
Ashley was such a loving, giving person who would give the shirt off her back. She earned a Bright Futures Scholarship and was a licensed Cosmetologist. Ashley was devoted to her children, Parker and Phoebe. Her mother, Nancy, was her best friend and rock. Ashley enjoyed fishing, loved concerts, music and cooking just like her Nanny. She loved her “wister” and family. She was the rebel “Aunt Ashley.” She loved deeply and in return was so loved and will be missed by all.
Family members preceding Ashley in death are her grandparents, Dominick Palestino, Susan Palestino and Kathy Higginbotham.
Ashley is survived by her children, Parker Palestino and Phoebe Richardson; parents, Nancy Palestino and Anthony Palestino; sister, Brittany Knight (Garrett); nephew, Gideon Knight; nieces, Hope Knight and Gemma Knight; and a host of other family members and friends.
