Her friends say Love was a mother of three and worked as a parts manager at Nissan of LaGrange. They say she had not worked there long enough to be covered by insurance.

“She leaves behind a husband, two bonus sons, and her three beautiful children who were her entire reason for everything she did in life. Ashley was one of the most selfless humans I have ever met and anyone who truly knew her would say the same,” friends wrote.

They have set up a GoFundMe campaign to ease some of the family’s financial burdens.
