Ms. Ashley Ann Watlington, age 26 of Forrest City, Arkansas passed away on Sunday August 24, 2025, at her home. Born January 14, 1999, in Forrest City, Arkansas, she was the daughter of Tommy Watlington and Tammy Callahan Watlington. She was a lifetime resident of Forrest City, Arkansas and was a member of Oak Hill Church of God.

Ashley was a devoted mother, daughter, sister, and friend, who left us far too soon.
Ashley brought light and warmth into the lives of everyone she met. She will be remembered for her contagious laughter, goofy spirit, and unwavering love for her family.
Her greatest joy in life was being the proud mother of Brooks Thomas Watlington, who was the center of her world.

Ashley is preceded in death by her husband Andrew Wilkison, grandmother Vera Claudette Callahan, grandfather Bub Watlington, and her uncle Bubba.

She is survived by her son Brooks, parents Tommy and Tammy Watlington, sister Kayla Watlington, nephew Jaxon Watlington and grandfather Johnny Callahan, all of the home, sister Bethanie Phillips (JP Phillips), nephew Warren and niece Edith of Jonesboro, grandparents Ginger and Ernest Howton of Colt, Tommy Cooper of Wynne, the father of her only child, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

A celebration of Ashley's life will be held on August 28th at 1:00 P.M. with a visitation one hour prior to the service at Oak Hill Church of God with Bro. Kendall Pettus (1-870-317-4835) officiating and Rev. Hunter Osborne will be assisting. Friends and loved ones are invited to gather, share memories, and honor her beautiful life. Burial will be at Loughridge Cemetery in Colt, Arkansas

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The Oak Hill Church of God Monday Night Outreach.

Though her time here was far too short, Ashley's love and spirit will live on in the hearts of her son, family, and friends
