Mother of Taja and DJ
Our beautiful, fun, vivacious daughter Ashley Floyd, has left this earth to be with her Father in Heaven. She passed away on August 15, 2017, from brain cancer, with her family and her children by her side. Ashley was born June 19, 1982, in Rexburg, Idaho, to Brett and Rhonda Floyd. Ashley was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In Ashley's short 35 years she showed she had such an amazing zest for life. She wanted to experience it all. She loved to dance and was very artistic. At a very young age, Ashley decided that she wanted a degree in socializing. She was very successful in her pursuit of that diploma. Ashley loved everybody and always gave people the benefit of the doubt. Ashley started dancing at a young age. She competed on a performing team and performed solo routines as well. She loved to dance. Ashley went to Hillcrest High School where she decided to dance with her friends on the school dance team. After High School, Ashley moved to Provo, Utah, and went to college at UVSC and then started at the Paul Mitchel School of Hair. She graduated from beauty school and began work at Carlyle Beauty in Idaho Falls. While working at Carlyle Beauty, Ashley gave birth to a beautiful daughter, Taja. She then married Davien Brokaw in 2007, and was subsequently divorced in 2012. With this union, she added a son, DJ, to be a little brother to Taja. After a couple of years working at Carlyle, Ashley decided to fulfill her dream and open her own Beauty Salon. Ashley had a very successful career and business, but after six years decided to sell it so she could pursue other goals. Ashley became an instructor for Austin Kade Hair Academy in Pocatello, Idaho, and also became an Educator for Farouk Hair Systems Team and Chi Hair Products. Ashley began work with Craig Lemere at MOZ Studios to push her talents to a new level. She began with body painting and experienced a great deal of success in that area as well. She was invited by Otto Ott (Skin Wars TV Series) to work with him doing face and body painting. Because of the brain tumor she never realized the fulfillment of that opportunity. Ashley's talent knew no bounds and she had a deep love for people. She was always ready to help people and be a big support and mentor to them. Her clients became some of her best friends and she cherished each and every one of them. Everybody knew her for her infectious and contagious laugh. Her personality was bigger than life itself. She was a beautiful soul inside and out. In January of 2017, she was scheduled to attend the Miss Universe Pageant where she was to do hair and make-up for the contestants, but the diagnosis of brain cancer prevented her attendance. Her biggest pleasure and love in this life were her two beautiful children, Taja and DJ. Through her every day struggles and battles, leaving her children was always what left her with a heavy heart. They were her pride and joy and she felt they were her greatest accomplishments. Ashley was holding her children's hands and she passed with tears in her eyes. Ashley is survived by her mom and dad Brett and Rhonda Floyd, brother TJ (Brooke) Floyd, Idaho Falls, sister Brittany (Jared) Webster, Menan, Idaho, sister Hailey (Bruce) Moore, Idaho Falls, and nieces and nephews that were a huge light in her life. Ashley was proceeded in death by her Grandmother, Shirley Floyd. A viewing will be held at Coltrin Mortuary in Idaho Falls, on August 24, 2017, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.. The funeral will be at the Blackhawk LDS Church Building, 7118 Ledge Rock Dr, Idaho Falls, ID, 83406, on August 25, 2017 at 11 a.m. with a short viewing from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.. With deepest gratitude, we want to thank Dr. Ryan Bair and his staff at the Idaho Cancer Center, and Dr. Brad Adams and staff at Teton Cancer Institute, for their kindness and compassion. We also want to thank 24/7 Healthcare and One Source Hospice and the loving ladies that came to help Ashley and our family. We appreciate Meagan and Brenda for staying with us when Ashley passed to help assist her sad and scared family. Our hearts are truly full and very grateful. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to www.youcaring.com (search Ashley Floyd) as a tribute to her and to assist her children.
