HATTIE ASHFORD

2008

Ms. Hattie Ashford was the proud and loving mother of eight beautiful children with her husband Luke Ashford, who brought joy, laughter, and meaning to her life. She raised them with a heart full of love, grace, and strength, always offering her support and care.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents and her cherished daughter, Mary Wade. Her legacy continues through her children: Bertha Ashford, Wardell Ashford, Walter Ashford, Ann Ashford, Charlane Blakes, and Lizzie Ashford. She also leaves behind many grandchildren, a loving extended family, and a host of dear friends.

Although our time with Ms. Hattie feels far too short, we are comforted by the hope that we will see her again in the sweet by and by. Rest well, Ms. Hattie. Your love and presence will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
