She worked for several years at Trembles and then later baked and served many wonderful biscuits at the Fast Mart in Lakeview. She was a hardworking individual who was dedicated to her family and displayed great resilience throughout her life.

Mrs. Ashburn is survived by her daughters, Patsy Caviness (Danny) of Lakeview, and Donna Taylor of the home, along with fourteen grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren and several nieces.

She loved to stay in contact with her many friends through phone calls and Facebook. She will always be remembered as a very loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

A private Celebration of Life with Jimmy Calhoun officiating will be held at Holly Grove Cemetery to honor her memory.

Mrs. Asburn requested absolutely no flowers. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Heart Association.
