Memorial Scholarship to Remember Ashton G. Brown
Ashton Gabrielle Brown was a beautiful young woman and mother with a passion for life. Sadly, this young family was unexpectedly taken from this world on April 18th, 2022. The story is probably familiar to many in our community who knew Ashton Brown and her family.
Ashton’s parents don’t want the tragedy of what happened on that day in April to be the end of her story. They opened the Ashton G. Brown Memorial Scholarship in 2022 to remember Ashton’s twenty-seventh birthday on November 14th. The scholarship will remember Ashton while helping high school athletes from Davie County High School.
Ashton Brown was a kind soul. She loved sports as a young girl, playing basketball and softball from an early age. She played both sports all four years of high school and went on to play collegiate softball at Shaw University in Raleigh for two seasons before transferring to Winston-Salem State University. Ashton was a 2014 scholarship recipient of the Davie County Training School – Central Davie High School Reunion Scholarship under the Davie Community Foundation. She pursued a bachelor’s degree in Birth-Kindergarten Education with a minor in Early Intervention.
Following graduation from Winston-Salem State in 2019, Ashton was offered a position as a Special Education Teacher at South Fork Elementary in the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School District. She had a passion for children, especially those with special needs. Ashton had two children of her own, Bella Rose and Brixtyn. She was a wonderful teacher and an even better mother. “She was a mama that loved her babies,” said Christina Stuckey, Ashton’s mother. “They were everything to her!”
As a community we will honor and remember a beautiful young woman and her two children every time the Ashton G. Brown Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a Davie High athlete. You must believe that Ashton will be rooting for each one of them from above.
