Ashley Jackson Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Ashley Morgan Jackson, 40, announces her passing early Tuesday morning, May 19, 2020, at her home in Elizabethtown.

Ashley was an Elizabethtown native and a graduate of Elizabethtown High School. She was an extremely hard worker. Ashley worked the last eight years as a waitress at Skyline Chili in Louisville, where she was beloved by all her customers and fellow employees. She had an extraordinary sense of humor; it was impossible not to smile when you were around Ashley. She loved animals of all kinds, she loved to read, her favorite TV show was the Golden Girls, her favorite singer was Sam Smith and to say she was Will Smith's biggest fan is an understatement. She loved to travel and her dream was to one day visit Rome. Most of all, Ashley was a devoted mother to her four children. Ashley worked two jobs most of her life to support her children, sacrificing all to make sure they knew how much she loved them. Although some of her children live on their own now, the family had a tradition of sharing a homecooked meal every weekend. Family was everything to Ashley.

Previously departed loved ones include her mother, Candy Brown; and her father, Dennis Jackson.

Ashley will forever be remembered by her four children, three daughters, Noelle, Brooklyn and Sydney; and a son, Kahlil. She will be eternally remembered by her five sisters, Heather, Whitney, Livy, Abby and Pam; and her brother, Ryan. Ashley also will be remembered by her numerous nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins and the countless friends she held deeply in her heart. Ashley also leaves behind her very much adored dogs, Charlize and Vinny.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

Didn't personally know Ashley, but I did know her sister Heather and Heather shared so many beautiful stories of her sister with all of us on Facebook, so we grew to know Ashley that way. Heather is a beautiful, Amazing, strong hardworking woman and I know for a fact Ashley was too. I pray that Ashley is in the arms of our Savoir Christ Jesus in no more pain and filled with eternal joy. I pray for each 1 of her siblings that they all know that 1 day they will all be reunited with Ashley one day soon. Im so sorry. I wish I could say words that would heal and take the pain away, but I know with experience I can't. Grief is something we all unfortunately have to go thru. I Love you Heather and again babe I'm so sorry.

Ashley was definitely one of a kind, she always put a smile on my face no matter what mood I was in. I spent many hours laughing and crying and just talking about life with her. She will always hold a very special place in my heart, she was more than just a friend to me and my family she actually became family to us. Ashley you will surely be missed.

Ashley was a great person. We shared many memories good and bad, but in the end she never stopped being my friend. It didnt matter what you had to tell her, she never judged because 9 times out of 10 she had already been through it. They say only the good die young and I am believer of that. May she rest in peace, and her children,sisters and family be at peace knowing she is no longer in pain.
