Ashley A. O'Brien

ALLENSTOWN – Ashley A. O’Brien, 33, of Allenstown, was taken from us way too soon, on Sunday, January 30, 2022 following years of heart complications.

Born on June 8, 1988 in Concord, she was the daughter of Shirley (Snell) Reynolds and her husband Brian of Concord and Mark O’Brien and Ellen of Peabody, MA.

Ashley’s personality was larger than life, she loved being active and volunteering her time, between the Ladies Auxiliary with the Allenstown Fire Department, the Fire Explorers Program, Reach the Beach and CS Paintball. She was an amazing photographer, a lover of animals and motorcycle riding. The world is a little less bright without her smile and personality.
