Ashley Shanell Hardiman

With profound love and deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Ashley Shanell Hardiman, who departed this life on August 1, 2026.

Ashley was born on January 8, 1992, in Magnolia, Arkansas, the daughter of Bobby and Pamela Hardiman.

Ashley attended and graduated from Kenwood High School in 2010. She accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee.

Ashley worked at Electrolux in Springfield, TN; A.O Smith in Ashland City; and Hankook Tire in Clarksville.

Ashley enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She had an amazing gift of making people laugh. Above all, Ashley loved her children, and her devotion to Kynnedy and Makayla never wavered. She worked hard to give them everything they needed and to open every door she could. She was their biggest supporter, their listening ear, and their steady source of encouragement. The bond she shared with them was the greatest joy of her life, and her deepest hope was that they would always know how completely they were loved.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents: Dorothy Devlin, Earl (Corrine) Jones, and Nathaniel (Earlene) Hardiman.

She leaves to cherish her memory her beloved daughters, Kynnedy Pace and Makayla Burks; her loving parents; Bobby and Pamela Hardiman her brothers, Courtney (Haley) Hardiman and DeMarcus (Christina) Hardiman; special cousin Christopher and Devante Hardiman; her sisters, Jaslyn (Jerome) Jones and Lisa (Dustin) Muldrew; devoted cousin/sister Katisha Hardiman; grandfather, Samuel Lee Evans; her nieces, Faith Moore, Grace Muldrew, and Anaiah Hardiman; her nephews, Corey Hardiman and Jacoby Hadiman; her devoted SISTER/friends Devion Dowlen, Sierra Ford and Rayann Smith; and a host of extended family, lifelong friends, and all whose lives were enriched by knowing her.

Though her passing breaks our hearts, we are forever grateful for the time we shared with our beloved Ashley. Her spirit will live on in every cherished memory, every shared laugh, and every act of kindness inspired by her example. Now we, the family, will have to adjust to a new normal without her. While her time with us was far too short, the love she gave so freely will continue to guide and comfort those who knew her.

Rest, our dear daughter, mother, sister, auntie, cousin, and friend, peacefully. You were deeply loved, and your memory will forever remain a blessing.
