Ashley was one of the Fortenberry Scholarship recipients. She is going to TWU, and she just had a new baby, Diesel. He was the youngest one at the reunion this year. As busy as she must be, she took the time to tell us a little bit about her family background.
I am the Granddaughter of Willis “Bill” Fortenberry and Janet Fortenberry, and daughter of Patti Fortenberry and Charles Moyers. I grew up hanging out with my Papa Bill while he was the mayor of Boyd. My Mother was on the City Council, and so was My Granny, Janet. My father was on the Fort Worth Mounted Patrol and my Pepaw was a Wise County Sheriff. You could say I was raised around the law. I waited until later in life to decide what I wanted to do with myself. I am currently enrolled at the Texas Womans University in Denton getting my Bachelors of Criminal Justice and my minor in Accounting. I would like to sincerely thank the Fortenberry Family for helping to contribute to my success as a student and any kind words as I strive to accomplish my goals. — feeling special.
