Ashlee was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and attended Trinity Valley School, Fort Worth Country Day, and Paschal High School (class of 1991). During childhood, Ashlee developed a love for horses as an equestrian rider. She was a graceful and excellent rider and won many trophies in the Hunter Jumper class in Texas. Ashlee's love for

animals was not limited to horses. Many pets were adopted into the family through Ashlee. Ashlee also loved skiing and art. She became a skilled skier during countless family vacations in the Colorado mountains.

After graduation, Ashlee moved to Denver and attended school to become a physical therapist and massage therapist. She helped countless people regain strength and mobility through her services. She had a great group of friends in Denver and loved her years living there.

In 2014, with the desire to live in a warmer climate, Ashlee moved to California, where she currently lived. Here, she further developed her artistic skills and created a business refinishing and painting furniture. Her pieces were lovely works of art, and her attention to detail expressed her love of life.
