Ashley Claiborne Crawford was born May 28,1998 to Minister Martin and Maxine Crawford in Memphis, Tennessee. She professed her belief in Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age and joined Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor Donald Johnson in Memphis, Tennessee.

Eight years ago, the family moved to Conway and joined Salem Missionary Baptist Church, Bennie L.

Ashley graduated from Conway High School in 2016. She furthered her education by receiving training in the medical field. Ashley was employed at Baptist Health Center for Clinical Research as a Phlebotomist.
