On December 19, 2018 our precious beloved daughter, Ashta Nicole Clark, went home to Jesus and family. Ashta fought a long hard battle with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome along with her hernia. She suffered over half of her life and she is now at peace and pain free with Jesus forever. Ashta is our “porcelain doll” and her small fragile body couldn’t go on any longer. She fought long and hard until the very end. Although we wanted her to stay with us so bad, we had to let her go home to God.
Ashta Bashta “Puddin head” or little “Doodlebug”lived and breathed her two sons- her “sonshines” she called them. She enjoyed music with a passion. Ashta was very witty, always coming up with crazy things to say out of the blue to make you laugh. She helped everybody along her way it was so gratifying to her to help others in need. She put everybody first before herself. Ashta’s babe is Johnny Depp, her favorite color is purple. She loved Elvis and thought her youngest son was his reincarnation. Ashta is our rock star.
Ashta attended grade school at Sandstone Elementary in Billings, MT. She returned to Poplar for her Junior High through High School years. She received her G.E.D. in 2012, and then took college courses for nursing at F.P.C.C. Her dream was to become a registered nurse, but received her certificate for a certified nurses’ aide. She moved to Pocatello, Idaho where she was a nanny for her cousin, Lee Mail. She then moved to Denver, Colorado where she worked for the State of Colorado Highway Department as a flagger. She returned back to Montana and resided in Great Falls where she worked as a healthcare provider for her special niece, Felony Swan (Josie Clark) who preceded her in death. She was employed as a C.N.A. at Park Place Manor, where she genuinely loved her elderly patients. She returned to her hometown, Poplar and worked as a home health care provider for her grandmother, Marilyn Mail and also provided home health care for her mother until the very end.
