Ashley transcended from Earth on August 18,2021. She gave her life to Christ and was a member of Mt. Olive Church, Abbeville, Alabama.

Ashley’s signature color, Yellow, is the most luminous of all the colors on the spectrum. Yellow captures everyone’s attention before any other color, just as Ashley’s spirit captured the hearts of everyone she met.

Ashley’s love for her family and friends was IMMEASURABLE. Spending time with her family and friends was of the utmost importance to her. She was blessed to have her big sister, Keela, as her best friend. Ashley’s soft spot was her heart; God blessed her with an enormous heart.

Ashley always had a smile on her face and she loved to laugh. Ashley was her family’s personal chief. She loved to cook.

Ashley’s style was impeccable. She was a FASHIONISTA. She loved makeup and she loved doing hair. Ashley’s love for traveling the world landed her in Africa several times.

Ashley’s memory will forever be cherished by her father: Cedric(Bridget)Butler; her sisters, Vakeela(Adrian)Brown and Aaliyah Butler; her grandmother, Alice Butler; her aunt, Denetrius Butler; her uncle, Vince Butler; her brother, Eric Moss; and her Aunt, Lula Bell( Dewey) Crawford.

Her Legacy will be sustained by her be loved nephew, Adrian Tyler Brown; niece, Gabrielle Alyse Brown; and the love of her life, Michael Okun.

Others who count it a blessing to have known Ashley, her entire Fluellen Family; her enter Butler family; and her    entire Okun family.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7(KJV)
