Ashley Anne Bustillos, 18, of Tijeras, NM, entered eternal rest on January 15, 2026. She was born September 11, 2007 to her parents Andrew and Carla Bustillos.
Ashley was an adored daughter, sister, leader, and friend. She attended East Mountain High School, where she was captain of her track team and a role model in her soccer and cross-country teams.
