Ashley Dorn

(From Ozark Funeral Home)

Ashley Sheree Dorn was born in Tulare, California on July 31st, 1987. Her life, vibrant with joy, faith and adventure, ended in Anderson, MO on February 25th, 2026. Her sudden passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Ashley was a devoted follower of Jesus and lived her life with a heart for God and for others. Her faith was the foundation of who she was, guiding her love for her family and her calling to help those who were hurting. She had a deep compassion for people in recovery and for anyone walking through struggles, and she poured herself into serving them.

Ashley was as driven as she was spirited. She earned her master's degree in Social Work with the same zest she approached the other facets of her life. She graduated with honors from Missouri Southern State University in Joplin and Missouri State University in Springfield where she honed her skills to become a dedicated Therapist for the Echota Tribe in Jay, OK. She truly loved her work and felt blessed to serve others through it.

Above all else, Ashley cherished the love of her life, her daughter, Chasten. The two were inseparable and shared a special bond. When she wasn't navigating the challenges of the human psyche, Ashley was out spending time making memories with her. From days spent soaking in the beauty of nature at the beach, kayaking, or ATV riding, to shopping trips, spa days or just hanging out together, her love for Chasten was only matched by her passion for her faith and the time she spent with her loved ones. Ashley believed that the best things in life weren't things at all, but experiences and memories made with those you treasure.

Ashley also loved being with her family and enjoying life's adventures. She had a joy for white-water rafting, kayaking, and riding motorcycles, and she delighted in doing these things with the people she loved most. Her laughter, passion, and presence will never be forgotten.

Ashley was engaged to Samuel Cisneros and was looking forward to their future together.

She is survived by her daughter, Chasten Dorn-Ferren; loving parents, Mark and Alicia Dorn; her brother and sister-in-law, Elmer and Jackie Marshall; her sister, Dawn Dorn, and Whitney Colvin; her nephew and niece-in-law, Branden and Mary Marshall, and her grandfather, Edward Dorn. She was preceded in death by her beloved sister, Chasity Dorn.

Ashley's life was a testimony of faith, love, and service. Her spark ignited a fire that will continue to warm the hearts of those who loved her, and her light will forever shine in the stories they share and the laughter they cherish. Though her time on earth was far too short, her impact will be felt for generations. We find comfort in knowing that she is now in the presence of the Savior, Jesus Christ, whom she loved so deeply.

“The Lord's way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” - Psalm 18:30.
