Joyce Ashley was a Mom in every sense of the word who loved anyone and everyone. No matter the details. She loved life. Her crafts were as intricate as her. She loved painting, sewing, sculpting, beading jewelry and embroidery. She was undeniably Mimi to her grand and great-grandbabies. She was a true Saints fan to this day and could throw a fleur de lis if her boys weren’t winning. This lil’ Cajun lady danced through life. She was our center. God has taken an angel from us.

She was preceded in death by: her parents, George P. and Katherine Sheafer

She is survived by: her husband, Charles L. Ashley of Bay St. Louis; sons, Kevin Rehm of New Orleans, La., and Larry Ashley of Ft. Walton, Fla.; daughters, Keri Rehm of Galveston, Texas and Rhonda Ashley of Pearl, Miss.; brothers, Morgan Sheafer of Tampa, Fla., and George Sheafer of Humble, Texas; eight grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
