Lydia Jean Ashline
July 4, 2006 ~ November 8, 2023
Resided in:
Sanford, Maine
Lydia Jean Ashline, 17, of Sanford, left this world far too soon on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, following a tragic automobile accident in Rochester.
Lydia was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, on July 4, 2006, to Hayden R. Sevey and Nicole M. Ashline. She grew up in Sanford where she was a spirited senior at Sanford High School, where she left an indelible mark on the hearts of her peers and teachers. She loved her friends and teachers and was always very active in Peer Helpers there.
Her summers were joyously spent at Camp Brandwood in Peterborough, New Hampshire, where she reveled in activities and cherished time with friends. Eagerly anticipating a role as a camp counselor next summer, Lydia's enthusiasm for life was contagious.
An avid animal lover, Lydia found solace and joy in the company of her beloved cats, Smores and Vanilla, and her bearded dragon, Pikachu. In the video game realm, she connected with friends through her love of Fortnite, where she showcased her competitive spirit while she enjoyed battling friends.
Lydia was a multifaceted individual with a passion for photography, a gift for poetry, and a love for attending concerts. Born on the 4th of July, her vibrant personality mirrored the festive fireworks surrounding her birthday. Quick-witted, sarcastic, and armed with one-liners, Lydia's presence illuminated every room she entered.
A prolific writer, Lydia generously shared her talents, often assisting others in editing their papers. Her strength of character, independence, and empowered spirit set her apart. She lived life on her terms, making it undeniably "Lydia's world" with her unique flair.
Her selflessness and caring nature endeared her to all who knew her. Lydia consistently prioritized the needs of others, embodying kindness, love, and generosity. She leaves behind a void that will be deeply felt by her family and friends. Even though she left us far too soon, Lydia's light will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those she touched.
Lydia was predeceased by her grandparents, James Ashline, David McCormack and Henry Pinkham.
Surviving are her father, Hayden Sevey of Sanford; her mother, Nicole Ashline, and her partner, Casey "True" Vigeant of Rochester; her brothers, Brandon Sevey of Dover and Mason Sevey-Ashline of Rochester; grandparents Lynn Pinkham of Sanford and Audra Lufkin and husband Richard of St. Pete, Florida; her two feline companions, Smores and Vanilla; several aunts, uncles, cousins, and her boyfriend.

You are my first grandaughter and I will love you forever. I will always remember the little girl that you are and beautiful woman that you are now.i hope you are at peace now. Fly free little one.
She will be greatly missed loved her like she was my own child and had many long conversations about life and life choices she was a wise 17 year old. My heart breaks for all of us as we all are missing out on a great gal. The things she could’ve brought to this world will now never be and that is so saddening. To her family bless you all and I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am heartbroken to learn of Lydia’s tragic passing. She was a pleasure to have in class and I truly miss seeing her and talking with her. I pray you all find some peace despite the terrible sadness this brings. Sincerely, Diane Mitchell.. Lydia, always in my heart. ❤️

Nichole-
I am so sorry for your loss. I know Lydia was your shinning star. There are no words that I could say, that would take your pain away. Such a tragic loss of a beautiful, smart, talented, outgoing young lady, who was so full of life. The impression she has made on this world while being here for such a short time, speaks volumes.
Lydia-
I wish I could talk to you one more time. I remember the days we would message online about your yearly summer camp trip and how excited you were to attend. Your smile would light up any room you entered. Even though we were not ready for you to leave this world so soon, we must hold close all the everlasting memories you have engraved in our hearts. You will never be forgotten sweetheart!
May God hold you in his hands and take care of you. Until we meet again, may you forever rest in peace!❤️

Lydia taught me to hold onto the people you love. She taught me to fight through all of the bad things in life and most of all she taught me how powerful forgiveness is, I am glad that in the end her and I had become friends again.
I met Lydia her freshman year of high school and my sophomore year. We walked to school together about every day. I would walk to school and stop at her house to meet with her. Afterwards we would go to Aroma Joes or Irving to get an energy drink. We had a big falling out that lasted awhile but a few months before her passing we had apologized to each other and gone back to being friends.
I will always remember our walks in the morning where we talked about the most random things. We talked about what we were going to do with our lives. What boys we liked etc.
We’re cousins I grew up with Lydia I’ve know her sense I was very young
Lydia was a sweet girl
She wanted to travel the world
She wanted to have children
She wanted to do a lot of things
And it hurts me that she did not get to accomplish any of her priorities I’m so sorry for everyone s lost I love Lydia so much it saddens me the last conversation was drama and for that I am so sorry I can’t even describe the regret I hold from it if I only knew I would never be able to talk to her again
One time when we were younger we were at my house her and I were abt 5 or 6 years old “ we got into a fight and she locked me in my own bedroom and tried to throw my toy farm house at my head it was tragic then but so funny to think abt now her and I use to laugh about it all the time
She might have made bad decisions in her life time but does not mean she is a bad person I’m saying this bc of all the post abt her after her passing people were always doubting her and talking disrespectfully on her name abt some decisions she’s made but everyone makes mistakes and it doesn’t make it right she was a great person and a kind hearted soul it’s more then sad that this happened to her she had a hole life and experience ahead of her
She wanted to travel
Kind
Caring
Beautiful
Intelligent
Patient
I miss you pretty girl🥺 nothings the same without your infectious smile and laughter, rest in the sweetest of peace 🕊😭❤️
I miss you deeply and wish we had gotten more time to be together
her ability to share with me her dreams. Her ability to go after what she wanted.
She taught me that life is short so live it to the fullest, love with all you have.
Lydia had decided that she and I would take a vacation to Scotland after she graduated from High School. She began to research everything about it and would show me pictures and various ways to get there. She was so excited that she forgot to think about how we would pay for it. Then when we discussed tht she said, “Well, MeMe, we can dream big.”
her ability to express herself clearly, intelligently, and without regret
She would suck her thumb when she was falling asleep, especially if she was upset.
Lydia is profoundly missed. Our loss is unfathomable
Our loss is unfathomable. Lydia was definitely a unique, one of a kind individual.
She I found out she was my grandchild
Lydia is my grandchild
Profoundly outspoken
She was brilliant and lived life on her terms.
her determination
Her tenacity and generosity
Virtually in anyway she could
writing and photography
When she took silly selfies
her family
I think her legacy is that she wanted to save the world if only one person at time
Simply by being herself, generous, loving nd caring.
n visit when she was bout 4 or 5 we took her to Bonanza to eat. When it came time to get dessert she filled her bowl with ice cream with l sorts of toppings, in her excitement to show her Pepe she dumped the whole bowl in his lap.
vibrant ferocious, tenacious, kind. generous, extremely unique
write, photography, swim, hike, attend summer camp
I love you l miss you sm
A beautiful powerful yet innocent soul..
Lydia taught us a great deal about courage…
She was kind…very bright… and determined…
She had dreams and aspirations …
Her passing is felt deeply…her presence still felt…
