Aria Kay Asbell, infant daughter of Nick Asbell and Katelyn McIntyre, of Dubuque was born on August 7, 2025, at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital and gained her angel wings on August 26, 2025, at home surrounded by her family.

Aria was so beautiful, brave and such a strong little girl. She was a night owl just like her daddy, mama, sissy and brother. We enjoyed the time we had with her at home.

Aria was preceded in death by her great-grandma Karol “Kay” Pline, great-grandpa Bruce Miller and aunt Sara Miller.
