  • Ashley’s celebration of life

    As of now, her father refuses to sign her paperwork for her death certificate. He's to busy fishing. We still have the funeral bill to cover. We cannot rely on her father's family. They were never there or inquired about Ashley, her whole life. Please help lay her to rest! This is so unjust to my daughter and the deceased. The funeral home doesn't take donations over the phone, but you can donate to Evergreen Funeral Home if your local.


About this fundraiser

Hello everyone, my name is Jeanell and I wanted to tell you about my struggles of losing my daughter Ashley when I found her unresponsive on Saturday June 7th, 2025. I was told on that day by the examiner that she had been dead for three days and her last day of life was Wednesday June 4th, 2025. The police have footage of a man that was last seen going into her apartment early Wednesday morning, afterwards you see the man walking out and he never came back to check on her. No one went to check on her, not even the provider Compass Career Solutions, it was their job to keep her on the right path and check on her weekly, but from May 30th to June 7th no one had heard from her, which was very unusual of Ashley. 

My family and I are unable to give her the beautiful ceremony that she deserves, we will be much appreciated for any donation that comes our way. Here is a story of my daughter that I would love to share with you;

“Ashley S., was born on July 19, 1990. She loved the spice girls. She even had a "Spice Girl" club she started in 3rd grade. She just loved playing dress up with her Spice Girl friends. She loved making up songs, just to make me smile. There was a little girl that lived up above us. Her mom was almost blind and her daughter had down syndrome. This little girl had no friends and just wanted 1 friend that would play with her. Ashley said "Mom, Melissa doesn't have any friends, can I go up and play with her?" I encouraged her to LOVE everyone, no matter what, but People took advantage of her generosity and kindness. She had a hard time saying no, she wanted everyone else around her to be happy. She would always put others first!***

"Bang, bang, choo choo train, watch me do my thing, I can't, why not, because I can't, why not, cause my back in aching and my bra is to tight and my booty's shaking from the left to the right" She loved singing this when she was in 5th grade. She was so proud of herself. It will always stick with me, 30 years later.

Ashley had a rough life. Her father shook her when she was just a couple of months old, becaus she wouldn't stop crying. My sister and I immediately stopped him. I was almost 19 at the time. Her father was so mad, he took off and we never seen him again. Then when Ashley turned 14 she wanted to meet her dad so bad. I was so scared when she asked that, but I knew she had that right, according to the law. He paid 23.21 a week for child support, so I knew the law would require me to allow visitation and I didn't want any issues. She was over the moon she was going to meet him. It didn't last long. I got a call from her father's gf that her father got into a fight with his exes bf. She said he was so drunk, got into a fight and brought her home. My daughter, a child, should have never been subjected to that. After that I never let her father go around her again. She has a half sister she's never met, nor do we know her name and brother. Both are by her father, but they have different mothers. I've asked many times what his daughters name is, but I never get an answer. Only that he doesn't have a relationship with her. I doubt she knew she had a half sister named Ashley and she wanted to know her so bad. Her father asked me to take down just the little I wrote when this fundraiser started, but it's not fair to my daughter. He was NEVER there, so I'm stating the TRUTH! He stated his family won't donate, because of what I said about my daughters father. I'm not going to lie for him, EVER! I've kept her Father on my Facebook friends list, all the years he's been there, he NEVER asked me about her. I'm not responsible for him. Her father planned on coming to her funeral, but he got covid and asked me to let someone else go in his spot. 

My daughter was so loved by so many! She just wanted a father! It BROKE her! 

Ashley has 2 other brothers, (by mom) she was the oldest and the boss!  She loved her brothers. Austin and her were very close! She wanted things to be different, she was putting her best foot forward, so she could get her family back in her life. Ashley was so excited to be an Aunty and was trying so hard for her. Things were looking up and very good the last 9 months of her life.” 

She is now in Heaven with the Angels, taken too soon. She was loved by many! You are in our hearts forever! 💕 💞 ♥️
