Aspen loved her animals and if there were any strays, she would rescue them. She loved floating down the river, any kind of water activities, and shooting guns. Her adrenaline was always running and she loved spreading love to her family, especially her son and three stepsons. She enjoyed snowboarding and loved having FUN! She lived wherever her heart would take her. Aspen helped anyone who needed anything: food, a place to sleep, or whatever they may need. She loved everyone she met without judgement.
Survivors include her father, Matthew Small (Beth) McNeilly, III of Craig, Colorado; her son, Wyatt Enoch; three stepsons, Tyler Westgate, Brycen Hoffman, and Drake Hoffman, all of Cozad, Nebraska; her brother Devon McNeilly of Craig, Colorado; two sisters, Katerina Martinez of Greeley, Colorado and Samatha Grove; her fiancee, Shane Hoffman of Cozad, Nebraska; sister-in-law, Danielle Hoffman; and many other family members and friends.
