Ashley met the love of her life David Porter in high school. The dreams she had of becoming his wife and mother of his children all came true as they were joined in holy matrimony, on, October 21, 2009, to this union they were blessed with two beautiful daughters, Olivia and Caroline. To be able to see the desires of your heart fulfilled and know that dreams do come true, Ashley was honored with that. Ashley loved doing her daughters hair, taking family trips, having movie night at home, reading poems by Maya Angelou, and she was a foodie. She worshiped with Hillview Heights Church, and her love for family and friends was indisputable with a smile that would light up the room. Ashley will forever remain in the hearts of those she has touched, knowing her memory will always be with them.
