____________________________________________________________________________________________

A special thank you to Ashley’s family, who for 20 years has made a lasting impact in Ashley’s memory after her courageous battle with cancer in 2003, have awarded three scholarships to close out their fund.

Ashley was someone who brought life, love and energy to everyone and everything she touched. She particularly enjoyed swimming on the Junior Varsity High School and YMCA swim teams. Ashley understood

the importance of making a difference in the lives of others and was a champion for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, Make a Wish Foundation, the Ronald McDonald House and other non-profit charities.

She also knew the importance that education plays in being successful and was looking forward to attending college. Her educational aspirations revolved around pursuing a career in the medical field. Ashley’s family chose to honor her spirit by financially assisting others in making miracles in this field come true.

Thank you to the family for using Ashely’s memory to make a direct impact on students in the area to carry on Ashley’s incredible memory.
