Living Memorial
Honoring Ashley Benton Parker
On September 27th, 2016, Haynes Manor Garden Club along with Peachtree Battle Alliance created and dedicated a living memorial site in honor of their very own, Ashley Benton Parker.
Ashley Benton Parker, a former enthusiastic Garden Club and PBA Board Member, dedicated volunteer, wife, mother and friend had lost her life to cancer in 2014.
On a bright, sunny Tuesday, the dedication of the living memorial took place including Ashley’s husband Jim, son James and sisters. The memorial includes a peaceful spot for reflection and beauty with a bench and walkway. At the end of the ceremony, Jim and James planted a ceremonial daffodil. A HMGC committee worked on this project for over a year to ensure her memory and love for life will continue forever.
