Ashley Erin Feldes

Ashley Erin Feldes began her Heavenly journey on October 18th, 2017, from Costa Mesa, CA. Ashley was born June 17, 1977 in Lake Charles, LA where she lived most of her life. She was a graduate of A.M. Barbe High School where she was on the varsity tennis team four years and was awarded a tennis scholarship to McNeese State University. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from McNeese and has since worked consistently in the social services area. Her passion was for helping others: the elderly, mentally challenged, and troubled youth. She loved being outdoors, playing tennis, hiking, running, going to the beach and deep sea fishing. Ashley will be most remembered for her spirited personality, sense of humor and smile. She had a kind heart, an overwhelming love for her family and her close friends, and strength beyond measure. Ashley is loved by many here on earth, but now rests safely and peacefully in the arms of her Lord, surrounded with Eternal Love.
