Ashlynn was one of a kind—she could light up a room the moment she walked in or make you mad in a split second. In high school, she was involved in track, basketball, FFA, and cross country—activities she loved dearly. She never missed a basketball game, always cheering loudly and passionately for her team.
Known affectionately by many nicknames—Ashy, Curtis Ray, Chomps—Ashlynn was a free spirit who never second-guessed a single thing, whether good or bad. She had a heart of gold and an attitude. She will be missed by so many, and her memory will live on in our hearts forever.
Until we meet again, we love you.
Memorial Service will be held Saturday, March 29th at 11:00 AM at the Methodist Church in Cimarron, recited by Albert Hronich. Dinner will follow at the Sister Hildegard Parish Hall.
Arrangements for Ashlyn Marie Selph are under the direction of the Alderette-Pomeroy Funeral Home.
