Faith Ashley, a devoted resident of Edison for nearly 25 years, exudes a profound passion for her community, family, and personal interests. Her love for the tranquility, small-town ambiance, and natural surroundings of Edison is palpable.
Expressing her adoration for the close-knit community, Faith remarked, "I absolutely love my community. I love the quietness. The small town feel. It's full of nature. The state park is right down the road. I just love nature and gardening, and where I live allows me to do everything I love. But the sense of community is most important. I've built a lot of great relationships with other locals. This is my place."
Faith takes immense pride in her forever home, emphasizing the beauty of the surrounding landscape, including the "field of dreams" beside her residence that transforms between corn and soy. She and her husband often delight in observing deer walking through this picturesque setting. Faith has created a stunning flower sanctuary for her mother, contributing to the comforting atmosphere of her own piece of paradise.
Motivated by the overwhelming sense of belonging and love she experiences, Faith aspires to assist others in finding their own piece of paradise. Reflecting on her own home-buying journey in 1998, she recognizes the challenges faced by first-time buyers and aims to provide guidance and support to ensure they feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Education holds significant importance for Faith, who, having taught at both elementary and middle school levels for a decade, values imparting knowledge to others. Additionally, she channels her passion for the arts by teaching a monthly art class for senior citizens.
Faith's resilience shines through her personal journey as a breast cancer previvor, where she underwent prophylactic treatment due to a hereditary risk. During her treatment, she discovered a love for baking and established a side business known as "Ashley's Cookies."
Proudly identifying as a born-again believer, Faith is deeply involved with her church family, exemplifying her commitment to faith and community. In her multifaceted roles as a community enthusiast, educator, artist, entrepreneur, and cancer previvor, Faith Ashley remains dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of those around her.
