Edith Ashworth

I often think back on the people in my life who inspired me along the way. This was the case a few days ago when just by chance I found Ms. Ashworth on this site. I like so many others have fond memories of this lady from Va Hills Elementary school. I last saw her just by chance during my last year of High School when she came by with what I think we're fellow school board members passing through our shop lab. Although it had been many years since elementary school, I recognized her...

She was a wonderful librarian and a wonderful person. I am sure she made the lives better of everyone she touched. She certainly inspired me to read during those important elementary school years at VA Hills Elementary School.

Ms. Ashworth was a very unique person and touched many lives. I know she sure did touch mine. I often thought about her and what adventure she was doing. She will be missed that is for sure. Rest in peace Ms. Ashworth and Thank-you for helping me get educated. Hugs love and prayers to All The Family.

Miss Edith was a dear friend from Oakton UMC. Always spunky and direct, there was steel in her spine, but also great love an affection in her heart. Anita and I will miss her. We rejoice, though, that she trusted in Jesus as her Savior and we look forward to meeting her again. Thanks be to God!

Gone but never forgotten leaving behind memories to treasure forever.

The most pleasant memories were my visits to the library. Ms. Ashworth read to us with such enthusiam and expression that every child was mesmerized. She is responsible for my lifetime love of reading. She first introduced me to the MISS PIGGLE WIGGLE series and to this day, I scan antique shops searching for original copies. On...
