Marsha Ashley

Marsha Kim (Gariss) Ashley passed away December 12, 2022 among family and friends after years of fighting illness. Beyond her family, Marsha’s passion was her flower garden and the other plants and trees that make Earth beautiful. On any random morning, friends or neighbors might find a gorgeous bunch of flowers on their front porch, without a card or note. But the lucky ones knew by her signature arrangements that they were from Marsha’s garden and came with a touch of love. Marsha was an incredible mother often found at the sewing machine perfectly tailoring clothing for her children. Her creative talents live on in her daughter while her love of working with horses lives on in her son.
