Ashley was primarily a homemaker throughout her life.  She loved listening to all genres of music from old country to new pop.  Often, she and her sisters would just spend time together driving around the area listening to music with no particular destination in mind.  She also loved getting dressed up to go out for dinners and shopping for unique clothing at the local Thrift Stores.

Ashely lived life with no regrets and was willing to help anyone in need.  Her big, beautiful smile, wonderful sense of humor, generosity and kindness toward others and the love she shared with her family will all be greatly missed by those who knew her.

In her memory, donations may be given to any local recovery center in the greater Michiana area. To light a virtual candle, share a story of Ashley’s life, or leave a message of comfort for her family, please follow the links provided on the Tribute Wall tab above.
