Ashton Nicole Smith 33, of Platte City, MO passed away December 4, 2022.

She was born on April 22, 1989, in St. Joseph, MO. Ashton grew up in Platte City and graduated from Platte County High School in 2007. While in high school, Ashton was involved in softball and basketball and was active in Young Life in Platte City.

Ashton had a great love for all animals from the goats on the farm to her chocolate lab, Tyson. She enjoyed playing bingo with the girls, watching movies, going to the lake, riding her bicycle, and attending concerts with her sister Tina. She was an avid sports fan, especially the KC Royals and KC Chiefs. Ashton was known for capturing all life’s funny and beautiful moments through her selfie stick. She had an infectious smile, always making everyone laugh, didn’t know a stranger and was the best daughter, sister, aunt and friend you could ask for and will be dearly missed.
