Ashley Paugh, 35, traveled from her home in La Junta to Colorado Springs on November 19, 2022, for a night out with a friend. A devoted wife and mother to an 11-year-old daughter, she worked for Kids Crossing, helping place children in foster homes and organizing holiday giving trees for foster kids in Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Her work included collaboration with the LGBTQ community to find welcoming placements.

That evening the pair went to Club Q to see a comedian perform. A gunman opened fire inside the club, and Ashley was one of five people killed in the attack. Patrons subdued the shooter and police took him into custody; dozens more were injured. Her husband and daughter, along with her sister and family, were left mourning her loss.

Does anyone who knew Ashley or remembers that night have details to share that could help preserve her memory?
