Betty Ann Tuell Ashe
October 14, 1940 — January 9, 2012
Betty Ann Tuell Ashe, 71, passed away peacefully Monday, January 9, 2012 in the English Meadows Assisted Living facility, Christiansburg, Virginia.
Betty was born in Smyth County Virginia October 14, 1940 to the late John Robert Tuell and Annie Thompson Tuell. She was preceded in death by her husband, Hubert Joseph Ashe, four sisters, Josephine Miller, Ella Mae Bales, Aileen Guy and Lucy Barker, and a brother, John T. Tuell.
Betty was a long time member of Abingdon Baptist Church and was retired from the Washington County Virginia School System with 24 years of service. Betty had a fascination with raising an assortment of flowers and cultivating an annual vegetable garden of which she was very proud. Betty often would be found doing housework as she was listening to country music and gospel hymns and occasionally attended concerts performed by her favorite artists. Trips to the Western United States with Hubert, Emily and Fred were entertaining along with numerous annual excursions to the family cabin in Gatlinburg, TN were important throughout the years. Baking, cooking and organizing family holidays and get-togethers brought joy to Betty's life. Without question the crowning jewel of her existence was spending time with her husband, 3 children, in-laws and grandchildren as she participated in functions and provided unconditional love and support to everyone.
Surviving Betty includes two sons and daughters in law, Tony and Beth Ashe of Blacksburg, Virginia, and Terry and Tracy Ashe of Seymour, Tennessee. One daughter and son in law, Laura and Lewis Ashwell of Roanoke, Virginia. Five grandchildren, Brittany Ashe of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Taylor Ashe of Blacksburg, VA, Whitney Ashe of Seymour TN, Corey Ashe of Seymour, TN, and Hunter Ashwell of Roanoke, VA.
