ASHLEY'S MEMORIAL

Sadly, after she got taken to the hospital, Ashley succumbed to her injuries. To celebrate her life, Ashley's family arranged a memorial to be streamed live on msminniemedia.com so that everyone that knew and loved her could participate amid social-distancing regulations due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

During Ashley's "celebration of life," her mom, Tammi Jackson, emotionally shared that she got a phone call from her shortly after the car crash.
