Ashten leaves to mourn her father, Rob (Bonnie) Warkentin; sisters, Kelsey Cook and Jen Storm; brother, David (Aralin) Warkentin; maternal grandmother, Irene Johnson; grandparents, John and Betty Warkentin; and adopted grand-parents, "Papa" Gene and Denalda Sinclair; uncles, Dwayne Cook (Melina), Ken Warkentin, and Matthew Hamill; aunts, Lesley Mercredi and Angela Hamill; cousins, Cassidy, Corey and Cameron Ferland, Jeff (Amy) and Kira Warkentin, Angelique, Jaylee, Greyson, Travis, Braeden (Taylor) and Peyton Mercredi, and Sophia Hamill; niece Mia; and nephew Roman. She also leaves to mourn many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, too numerous to mention. Ashten was predeceased by her mother, Daneen Cook; and grandfather, Daniel Bruce Cook. Ashten was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As her mother was a teacher, taking jobs throughout the country, Ashten had many homes growing up. As an adult Ashten lived in Winnipeg, working at the Manitoba Youth Centre. She later settled for a while in Steinbach, where she became involved with the church. She eventually returned to Winnipeg to attend the University of Manitoba, working towards a law degree. Ashten was a bubbly, bright, cheerful young woman. She found it easy to get along with people, and made friends everywhere she went. She was generous and giving, and was always willing to share whatever she had. She loved spending time with family and friends, just laughing and talking, and was quick to jump if anyone needed any help. She will be missed by all who knew her. There will be a service at the Southland Church on Highway 52 W in Steinbach, Manitoba on Tuesday, March 7 at 1:00 p.m. Wake services will be held Wednesday, March 8, at 7:00 p.m. in the St. Alexander Catholic Hall in Grand Rapids, Manitoba.

The funeral service will be followed by a feast and all are invited to attend. Following the service, Ashten will be taken to Winnipeg for cremation. Ashten will be laid in her final resting place, next to her grandfather and along with her mother, in the Roman Catholic graveyard in Grand Rapids, at a later date. Arrangements entrusted To Eternal Grace Funeral Home, 1111 Logan Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba (204) 505-4559.

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • It is hard to put words to the emotions that something like this envokes. There is a tremendous void left behind in my heart and in those of my family. This is a time where Ashten would have been there for all of us. I have fond memories of growing up with Ashten as we were so close in age. Although life drifted us apart, Ashten always made a point to speak to me at our family gatherings. As children I remember spending time together at our grandparents in Rosenfeld MB. There is a photo that comes to mind, one I haven't seen in years, but the image is all I can see these days. My uncle Brian, Ashten, and myself all on our bikes in grandma's driveway. Ear to ear smiles on the three of us. This is how I will remember Ashten. Sweet, happy and beautiful. From all of us, we will miss you dearly Ashten. May you rest in peace in paradise. Love always, Jeff. - Posted by: Jeff Warkentin (Cousin) on: Mar 06, 2017

  • I met ashten at the University of Manitoba. I was on my second year, she was on her first, we were in the same class native studies, we talked and things between me and her went well, we decided to date, we fell in love, the short time we had together were great and bad. We spent almost everyday studying together, we almost had a child together she was about 3 months pregnant, when we lost the baby, it was devastating news to her and me, we workout few times. She liked watching me play basketball, my family loved her specially my grandma. Things took a turn..specially in me, I started not to treat her good and I regret it. I will never get her forgiveness. That being sad she was the best I ever had, I will miss her smile, I will miss her kindness, I miss her a lot. But now she is in God's kingdom with her mother. Both in a better place. To her family, you have my deepest condolences. I'm sorry for this tragic loss, be strong, keep your heads up, honor her memory. - Posted by: Ryan P (Ex boyfriend/friend) on: Mar 06, 2017
