Ashley René Buck Burns, age 42, of Austin, Arkansas went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 15, 2025.
Ashley was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on August 31, 1982. She graduated from Cabot High School in 2000 and from Arkansas State University in 2005 with her Bachelors in Early childhood education, her Masters in Curriculum and Administration from Arkansas Tech University in 2009 and her Special Education Certification from Henderson State University in 2024.
She was proceeded in death by her grandparents, Lavois and JB Launius, Dorothy and Lewis Buck and her Uncle Bill Launius.
Ashley is survived by her parents, Ronnie and Tammy Buck, her daughter Chandler Burns, her brother MacGyver (Amy) Buck, her niece and nephews, Dorothy, Waylon and Jack whom she loved dearly. She is also survived by her Uncle Jim (LaRue) Launius, her Aunt Cheryl (Gene) Stafford and her cousins that were very special to her. She is survived by her sister in heart Jaime (Ryan) Miller. She is also survived by Chris Burns and stepdaughter Melia.
Ashley was an educator for 20 years with the last two years being a Special Education Resource Teacher at Harris Elementary, where she dearly loved the kids and staff. Harris felt like home to her.
Her last journal entry on March 13th, was a prayer for God to reveal her gift, but we all knew her gift was her infectious smile and ability to love with her whole heart. She also wrote that day that she wanted to see God's character more clearly so it could become her character. Her faith was strong since the age of 6, when she accepted the Lord into her heart. She was a member of Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Cabot, Arkansas.
A visitation and share time will be held on Wednesday, March 26th, from 6-8pm at A Natural State funeral home in Jacksonville, Arkansas.
In lieu of flowers, an account will be opened for her daughter Chandler's education.
Rest in peace and love our sweet baby girl.
