Ashpy Orndoff Obituary
Ashpy honorably served in the United States Navy from 1962 to 1966 during the Vietnam War, making his mark aboard the SS Saratoga. His commitment to his country was a testament to his strength and dedication.
In the embrace of marriage, Ashpy found joy with Dinah Jean Orndoff, and together they created a loving home filled with warmth. His professional life, marked by his role as a clerk for USPS in Columbia, TN, was followed by his spirited decision to work at Long John Silver's in Lawrenceburg, TN. Even in retirement, Ashpy exemplified an active lifestyle, always looking for ways to contribute and stay engaged.
An enthusiastic member of T.O.P.S, Ashpy took great pride in fostering a community where he could inspire others. Outside of work, he found solace in the great outdoors-tending to his farm with his beloved goats, nurturing his garden, woodworking, and in his younger day he enjoying the thrill of hunting and fishing.
Ashpy leaves behind a legacy of kindness, dedication, and a spirit that inspired all who knew him. His memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of family and friends. As we bid farewell, let us remember Ashpy's vibrant spirit and the countless ways he brightened our lives.
He is survived by his wife Dinah Jean Orndoff of Waynesboro, TN; son, Ashpy Orndoff III and wife Christina of Ormond Beach, FL; daughters, Katherine Orndoff-Stein of Waynesboro, TN, and Jacqueline Sterling of Ocean City, MD; grandchildren, Cody Orndoff, Allie Orndoff, and Juana Ramirez; and 5 great grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, Ashpy was preceded in death by his sister, Penny Orndoff.
