On Thursday, March 12, 2026, Technical Sergeant Ashley Pruitt tragically lost her life in a crash involving a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker while serving in Iraq. Ashley was doing the job she loved and was incredibly proud to serve her country. She joined the United States Air Force in the spring of 2017 and found her passion as a boom operator. Ashley took great pride in her work and in supporting the mission every day. As a TSgt., she was also a leader who cared deeply about the Airmen she worked with.

More than anything, Ashley loved her family. She was a devoted wife to Greg and a loving mother to their three-year-old daughter, Emilia, and her stepson, Oliver. She worked hard for the family she always wanted and cherished them all. Ashley’s loss leaves an unimaginable hole for her family, friends, and fellow Airmen.

This fundraiser was created to support Greg, Emilia, and Oliver as they navigate life without her. Any support, whether through donating or sharing, means so much to the family she loved with her whole heart.
