Terry Ashe Croft
Terry Ashe Croft passed away peacefully on February 27, 2021 in New York City where a funeral mass was held on March 10th.

Theresa Anne Ashe was born on May 7, 1933 in San Fransicso's St. Joseph's Hospital, the youngest child of the late Matthew D. ("Cy") Ashe and Helen Kelly Ashe.
A second-generation San Franciscan, Terry grew up in the ancestral flats on Sacramento Street, built by her maternal grandparents, Robert and Mary Kelly (both of County Roscommon, Ireland).

She attended St. Monica Grammar School, and Convent of The Sacred Heart (lower school - 1944) and High School and graduated from San Francisco College For Women (Lone Mountain) where, in 1954, she was bestowed, the "Oscar," the Tower Players' annual drama award.
She rode horses at St. Francis Riding Club in the Richmond District, and was a member of the San Francisco Theater Arts Company.

In 1958 Terry moved to New York to pursue acting, studying under Uta Hagen. Her theatrical career spanned five decades and she appeared in many broad-ranging roles in Off and Off-Off-Broadway, regional, and radio productions, to strong acclaim.

Terry is survived by her children ... and grandchildren ... and her loving sister ... of (San Fransisco), sister-in-law ... and was predeceased by her brother Matthew D. Ashe.
Beloved cousin to the Kelly, Ashe, Siggins, Reyff, McNaughton, Slater, Bartolero, Hester and O'Neill families, and honorary cousin Joe Kelly.
A lover of life and family, Terry's smile, laughter, compassion, and sense of adventure will be with us forever.

In her final years she would often return to The Dreams of Her Youth: Her version of heaven was remembering her days as a child running up and down the hills of San Francisco against an endless sky – the innocence, the freedom, the joy.
You have returned. You are finally free, Mom. GO RUN and NEVER stop.
God Bless you.
Burial service will be held May 8th at Holy Cross Cemetery, in Colma, CA

Matthew Dominic Ashe
August 8, 1929 - February 7, 2016
Matthew died in the early evening of Sunday, February 7, at Kaiser Hospital (Corte Madera) from complications following a fall just the previous day. His loving family kept watch with him during his last hours.
He was a third generation San Franciscan, the oldest child of the late Matthew D. ("Cy") Ashe and Helen Kelly Ashe. He grew up in the ancestral flats on Sacramento Street, built by his maternal grandparents, Robert and Mary Kelly (both of County Roscommon, Ireland). He attended Saint Dominic's and Saint Monica's grammar schools, Saint Joseph's Seminary (Mountain View), the California Maritime Academy (Vallejo), and was graduated from the University of San Francisco. His service in the Air Force during the time of the Korean War was succeeded by a career with the City and County of San Francisco Real Estate Department and Assessor's Office. After his retirement he continued in private practice as Pilot Properties.

Survivors include his devoted wife of 55 years, Wanda Hansen, who introduced him to the wonders of contemporary art, rural Humboldt County and world travel; children Elaina, Jay (Mary Jo), Matthew (Silvia) and Prescott; sisters Mary Rita Ashe and Terry Ashe-Croft (New York); nephews Geoffrey, Douglas, Ian and Mathew Croft. He was Papa Grande to five grandchildren: Kendall, Dominique, Artemisia, Maxwell and Dakota. He also leaves many of his dozens of cousins on both the Kelly and the Ashe sides of the family - Siggins', Reyffs, Ashes, Slaters, and honorary cousin Joe Kelly.
We are grateful to Doctors Kevin Yee, Dana McGlothlin, Singh and Medina.
At his request, there will be no funeral services. Contributions in his memory can be made to Martin de Porres House of Hospitality (Martin's), 225 Potrero Street, San Francisco, CA 94103.
