From early on Ashley was a lover of all things nature: animals, plants, especially flowers, rocks, and minerals to name a few. Not only was she in tune with the earth, she was super smart. She was an avid reader and achieved straight A’s through Middle School. Ashley was beautiful inside and out. She was always caring and compassionate; “mothering” others as she thought that she could help everyone. One of Ashley’s greatest loves was anything “water”. Only a few months old, she was already in the pool and at the beach. Later a love of the lake started and grew stronger with friendship the Mansfields. BBQ’s at their lake house with hours on the water tubing, knee boarding, and wake boarding. Over the years, Ashley dabbled in gymnastics, cheerleading and cross country. Other activities she enjoyed were traveling, technology, and art. Although her stay on earth was short, the world is a better place because Ashley was in it! A special thank you to all the family and friends that loved and supported her on her journey.
