Ashleigh Page Sparkman Polston

Bennettsville, SC Whatever we do affects everything and everyone, even in the tiniest ways.

When a butterfly flaps its wings, a breeze goes round the world.

Ashleigh Page Sparkman Polston (36) passed away suddenly on Friday, March 31, 2023.

She was born in Scotland County on June 7, 1986. She was the daughter of Sam and Debra Sparkman.

Like a butterfly Ashleigh now flies free, but we will never forget her fun personality and the warmth of her smile. She was fun to be around and loved to have a good time. She was her own person and wanted to do things her way. She was outgoing and loved people. Ashleigh was blessed with a beautiful voice and a creative mind. We were blessed to have her, rejoiced when she was doing well, and suffered greatly when she wasn’t. We are devastated to be separated from our beautiful daughter, sister, and mother in this world.

Ashleigh was a former member of Christ United Methodist Church and an inactive member of First Presbyterian Church where she was active in the Presbyterian youth groups for several years. Ashleigh recently participated in and graduated from Changed Lives Ministry (CLM) recovery program in Moncks Corner, SC, and was baptized and joined Victory Baptist Church while living there.
