Chicopee, MA, It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ashley Nicole Midura, who left us far too soon on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at the age of 26. Ashley passed away peacefully at her home in Chicopee, the city where she was born, raised, and loved throughout her life.
Born on May 10, 1999, Ashley was the beloved daughter of Lisa A. (Pirog) Midura and the late A.J. Midura. A 2017 graduate of Chicopee Comprehensive High School, Ashley was known for her kind spirit, gentle heart, and her deep love for animals—especially her two cherished cats, Licorice and Starling. Her compassion for animals was just one reflection of her warm and nurturing soul.
Ashley’s greatest joy came from being surrounded by the people she loved. Whether spending time at home or gathering with family, her presence brought light, laughter, and love. Her loss leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew her.
In addition to her father, A.J. Midura, Ashley was predeceased by her twin brother, Logan J. Midura; her maternal grandfather, John Pirog; and her paternal grandparents, Genevieve Midura and John Sullivan.
She is survived by her devoted mother, Lisa A. Midura and her partner, David Amlaw; her loving brothers, Tyler J. Midura and his fiancée, Vanessa Ruiz, and Jake H. Midura; her treasured grandmother, Gail Pirog; and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who will continue to carry her memory forward with love and affection.
Calling hours to celebrate Ashley’s life will be held on Thursday, July 10th, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Kozikowski Funeral Home, 565 Front Street, Chicopee. A private committal service and burial will be held at a later date at St. Stanislaus Cemetery for family.
In honor of Ashley’s lifelong love of animals, memorial contributions may be made in her name to the Dakin Humane Society, PO Box 6307, Springfield, MA 01101.
