Born in: Rocky Mount, North Carolina
Resided in: Elm City, North Carolina

ELM CITY – It is with great sadness that the family of Ashley Sierra Bottoms announce her passing at the young age of 39 on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. Born in Nash County, NC on November 11, 1985, Ashley found her true calling in life the day her son, Ashton, was born.

Ashley’s world revolved around being a mother, a trait which was obvious to anyone anytime in the way she talked about her son or simply the way she would gaze upon him. She enjoyed traveling and creating special memories with her son whether it was to the beach, the mountains, or just spending time outdoors. Ashley was a long-time member of the Pocahontas Broken Arrow Council #1, DOP. A devoted and loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, and dear friend to many, Ashley will be deeply missed and never forgotten by all those who knew and loved her.

Ashley was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Bobby and Hazel Glover and her paternal grandparents, Charlie & Mary Bottoms.

To cherish her memory, Ashley leaves behind her son and light of her life, Ashton Langley; parents, Glenn and Vickey Bottoms; brother, Bobby Bottoms; sister, Shanna Strickland (Daniel); special nieces and nephews, AJ, Lynn-Marie, Austin and Addison Bottoms, and Stella Strickland; aunts and uncles, Wanda Rhodes, Jeff Glover (Robin), Joe Bottoms (Jenny), Diane Wheeless (Ray), and Floyd Bottoms.

Winstead Ave., Rocky Mount, NC 27804, with Pastor Lin Robinson officiating.
