Ashton Connolly Dickey

Our precious daughter, Ms. Ashton Dickey of Tega Cay, SC, passed away early Sunday, July 28, 2019 due to injuries from a car accident. She was born in Columbus, Ohio to parents Dawn and Jim Dickey who were extremely proud of the young woman that Ashton had become. Ashton was a rising junior at Saint Anne's High School.

Ashton impacted the lives of so many. She was fearless and kind. She was funny and sarcastic and used humor to lift everyone up. Ashton loved to be with people and never met a stranger. She was generous and always willing to step out of her comfort zone to make new friends. Ashton was always conscious of others' needs and often served as mediator and confidant to friends and family alike. She had the ability to brighten the mood of an entire room. Ashton cared for everyone deeply. So much so, that when you became her friend, she considered you family.

Ashton was part mermaid. She loved to be in the water, and that led to a love of swimming and sports in general. Ashton was proud to have made the varsity teams for both swimming and lacrosse as a freshman at Fort Mill High School. Ashton transferred to Saint Anne's High School as a sophomore and really found a home. She was looking forward to exploring colleges this year and the future to come.

Calling hours will be held Friday evening, August 2, 2019 from 6-9pm at Palmetto Funeral Home. Funeral services will be Saturday, August 3, 2019 at 10 am at Saint Philip Neri.
