Ashley Stockton

Ashley Virginia Dennis Stockton, 36, of Ware Shoals, died Wednesday, June 10, 2020 at her residence after a lengthy and bravely fought battle with breast cancer.

A friend to many, Ashley was a kind and beautiful soul with an infectious personality and a strong faith in the Lord. As she selflessly fought her own battle with cancer, she was a loving supporter and encourager of others going through the same. Our world is a little darker, heaven is much brighter, and we know that she has been healed.

Born on December 6, 1983 in West Columbia, she was the daughter of Don and Debbie Graham Dennis. She was a 2002 graduate of Mid-Carolina High School and a graduate of Piedmont Technical College with degrees in Occupational Technology and Graphic Design. She had worked as a Graphic Designer for Park Seed Company, GeoSeed Company, and Enterprise Specialty Products. Ashley was a member of New Hope United Methodist Church of Pomaria and attended Sharon Pentecostal Holiness Church of Laurens. She enjoyed the outdoors and loved the beach. Both she and her husband were advanced certified scuba divers

Chad Stockton; her parents, Don and Debbie Dennis of Prosperity; paternal grandmother, Christine Dennis of Prosperity; mother-in-law, Lynn Stockton of Ware Shoals; a brother and sister-in-law, a niece, two nephews and a number of aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
