Ashley attended Real Life Ministry’s in Ironton, Ohio where she could be found three times a week with her friends and home group members. Ashley fought many battles in her life including drug addiction. Ashley passed away with the disease of addiction— not from the disease, she was a force to be reconned with and was proud of the accomplishments she had made in her life during sobriety.
