Ashlyn June Ostgren Fulk, 27 years of age, of Holdrege, passed away on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at her home in Holdrege, surrounded by her family, following a courageous battle with Burkitt's Lymphoma.

During her early school years, Ashlyn enjoyed sleepovers and playing Barbie's with cousins and friends, playing piano, and putting together jigsaw puzzles, and was an active gymnast.  She received numerous medals at state, competition, and the national level, as a gymnast.  In high school, Ashlyn was active as a Twister's Dancer and with Duster Golf.  She was very artistic and received statewide awards.  Together the family enjoyed church and family ski trips, and spending time with her grandparents.  She loved baking with her grandma's, listening to music and attending concerts with cousins.  Ashlyn was also an animal lover and had a special bond with family pets.
