Frenchie was born in Paris, France on March 2, 1946. She worked at Bristol Myers, retiring after 15 years of exemplary service. Frenchie was a car enthusiast and was most proud of her 1940 Cherry Street Rod, 2000 Custom Cherry Pick-Up and her 2024 Corvette. She was a woman of deep faith and a long-time member of Old North United Methodist Church. Above all else, Frenchie loved spending time with her family, especially with her son, her most wonderful daughter-in-law, and with her beloved grandchildren. She was also an avid animal lover with a special fondness for cats and dogs. Frenchie will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Frenchie is survived by her husband, Edward Ashby of Evansville, IN; son, Todd E. Ashby (Katherine) of Naperville, IL; and her grandchildren, Hannah, Grace, Jack and Selah Ashby all of Chicago, IL; and her brother, Donald Ray Walters (Jill) of Elberfeld, IN.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ray and Therese (Garreaux) Walters.
