Surrounded by family, Ashley Michelle (Adair) Loucks, age 38, of rural Portland, Indiana, left this world on December 16, 2022, and gained her angel wings. She was a true warrior fighting cancer to the very end. Ashley was born on April 24,1984, and was the daughter of Kirby and Jeannie (Buttice) Adair. Since the day she was born, she has had the prettiest blue eyes.
Ashley attended school in Logansport, Indiana, having graduated from Logansport High School in 2002. She was the vice president of her senior class and graduated as a distinguished scholar. She was a member of the National Honor Society, and staff instructor with Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA). She was excited to be selected as an instructor and continued in that role for six years.
Ashley headed to Bloomington in August of 2002 to attend Indiana University. She had always been a Hoosier fan but attending IU was a dream come true for her. Whether it was tailgating or waiting in line to get into Assembly Hall on game day, she would send a one-word text message to her family, “Red” and would expect a return message of “White”. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from IU in 2007. She worked in Bloomington for a short time after graduation as a property manager before moving to Indianapolis. While in Indy, she first worked at Scotty’s Brewhouse and then Key Bank. She also worked part-time at Indiana Elite Cheer and Tumbling in Noblesville. Besides being an IU Hoosier fan, she was a huge Green Bay Packer Fan sending her family her usual game day text of “Go Pack Go”. She was also a Cubs fan and was excited that she was able to see them finally win a World Series Championship!
Ashley has been employed by Varsity Spirit since 2012. She was dual-branded and served as the State Director for UCA and NCA in both Indiana and Michigan. She has earned numerous awards including Rookie of the Year in sales, the coveted Eagle State Director award and Territory Goal Achievement award including the year 2022.
Her greatest joy, however, was being a mommy to two precious little boys. Ashley was the best mommy! She always had fun activities planned for them and they had a George Hat for every activity and holiday.
