Born in Ft. Myers, FL, she was a daughter of Lloyd and Nancy Snyder. She was preceded in death by a daughter, Caleigh Josephine Gunter (passed at birth); grandfather, Jerry Kehoe; and grandfather in-law Jack Gunter.

Ashley’s family relocated from Florida to Blairsville, GA where she attended Union County High School and met her husband Chase. After graduation they attended the University of Georgia together where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Ashley went on to earn a Master’s degree in Educational Technology.

Ashley was a member of Athens Church, Executive Director of Prodigies Child Care Management and very active in many small groups and cancer support groups in her community.

Ashley was always up for an adventure and enjoyed traveling. She spent time in Haiti on a mission trip with her church, hiked volcanoes in Hawaii with her husband, skydiving to support a local charity and much more. However, her greatest adventure and love was her girls. Ashley enjoyed watching Cayden shine on the soccer field and Celyn in her tumbling classes as well as just watching them play and enjoy the good life out in their yard.

Due to current health regulations, a celebration of life will be held at a later date at Athens Church.
