Carolyn Daniel Ashe

Carolyn was the beloved wife of the late Reverend James Ashe, and together they shared a life of love, faith, and service. She retired after 40 years of dedicated civil service in secretarial roles with the USDA, while also faithfully supporting her husband in his ministerial work.

Carolyn found joy in fellowship and friendship. She was an active member of the Red Hat Society, the Athens Garden Club, and her most beloved group, the Joyful Hearts Bible Study at Bishop Baptist Church.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Reverend James Ashe. She is survived by her daughters, Sandra Watson (Tim), Wanda Ashe, and Sherrie Schwarzenbach (Kirk); her sister, Glenda Price of Jacksonville, FL; her grandchildren, Alan Watson (Molly), Ashley Watson (Emory Peavy), Weston Cochran (Xiaoming Fan), Amber Cook (Garrett), Andy Schwarzenbach (Stephanie), Alex Schwarzenbach, and Adam Schwarzenbach (Kaitlyn); five great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Bishop Baptist Church on Tuesday, April 15, at 2:00 p.m. Immediately following the service, and in accordance with their wishes, Rev. James and Carolyn Ashe will be laid to rest together in a dual interment at Evergreen Memorial Park in Athens.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to one of four organizations that held special meaning to Carolyn and supported her grandchildren:

– Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation (Watkinsville, GA)

– The Marine Foundation

– Connect Ministries (Watkinsville, GA)

– Covenant Care Services

Carolyn’s legacy of love, faith, and family will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Bernstein Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
