Obituary:
Betty Cecelia (Hawley) Ashman, age 64, of Appleton passed away on Sunday, March 22, 2015 at Froedtert Hospital with her husband and daughter by her side. She was born September 8, 1950, the second of six children, to Rose and the late Norbert Hawley. She graduated from Appleton West High School, class of 1968. During high school she worked at Quaker Dairy. Upon graduation she worked at Wichmann's Furniture for several years. She then worked at Albany International Appleton Wire Division and retired after 35 years. She married her high school boyfriend, John, on August 9, 1969, and they enjoyed over 45 years together. She was a member of St. Pius X Catholic in Appleton.
She will be sadly missed and eternally loved by her husband, John; daughter Christy (Nathan) Hintz; grandsons Grant, Bryce, and Sawyer John Hintz; mother, Rose Hawley; sisters and brothers Suzanne (Roger) Metz, Chris (Mike) Gassner, Karen (Carl) Treml , and Dave (Cindy) Hawley, Gary (Mary) Hawley, along with many cherished nieces, nephews, godchildren, great-nieces and great-nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Norb Hawley, mother- and father-in-law Ginny and Earl Ashman, and sister-in-law Jean Wall.
Betty enjoyed gardening, mowing her lawn, backyard cookouts with family, watching old movies and American Idol, going for "a ride", shopping with her mom and sisters, helping elementary students with reading at her daughter's school, cheering on the Packers, watching Little House with John, spending time at the Rushes in Door County, taking care of her grandchildren, and supporting them as they played sports, participated in school Masses and concerts, and in all their academic accomplishments. Betty was always willing to drop everything to help out friends and family. Her jokes, laughter, stories, and selflessness will be greatly missed. Family and friends look forward to meeting up with her again one day.
The family thanks all doctors, nurses, caregivers, and clergy who tended to Betty's needs both in Appleton and at Froedtert Hospital in Waukesha, with a special thanks to Fr. Tom Farrell of St. Pius X parish. A memorial fund has been established in her name.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, March 26, 2015, from 4:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. at Valley Funeral Home, 2211 N. Richmond Street in Appleton, with a prayer service at 5:45 p.m.. Visitation will continue on Friday morning, March 27, 2015, from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon at St. Pius X Parish, 500 W. Marquette Street in Appleton. The funeral Mass will be at 12:00 noon with Father Thomas Farrell officiating.
Mom, God knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for parts of me went with you the day God called you home. I love you, Mom. No matter what, remember that. Love, Christy
Betty, this is our 7:00 prayer: Heavenly Father, please grant us the faith needed for this healing journey. Holy Spirit, show us anything that will block the healing in our lives; teach us to overcome. Cleanse our minds, bodies, and souls to be made whole. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen
I love you Betty…. "I love you more."
