Bonham, Texas -- Loretta "Jean" Ashlock drew her last breath with her loving husband and children at her side, and departed this earth for her new eternal home in Heaven on December 26, 2024. Arrangements are under the direction of Wise Funeral Home in Bonham.

 As stated in the Holy Bible in the book of 2 Timothy 4:6-8: For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Jean was born to George and Cora Albright on May 23, 1935, in Wichita Falls, TX.  At the tender age of 14 Jean met the man she would spend her entire life with Harold Ashlock. Jean is fondly remembered for the smile on her face, and was known as the family prankster, was passionate about a good game of scrabble, and cooked candy as a hobby.

She was a diligent homemaker and personified the woman described in Proverbs 31: 25-28: Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

Jean is preceded in death by her parents, George Albright and Cora Bell Albright; brother, Jerry Ashlock; son, Brian Ashlock; grandson, Chris Ashlock; and great grandchildren Dani Blaschke and Rhiannon Ashlock.

She is survived by her husband, Harold Ashlock; daughter, Sheryl Aderholt (Norman) of Chandler, TX; son, Lonnie Ashlock (Beverly) of Bonham, TX; grandchildren, Rusty Brinlee (Tara), Michael Brinlee (Jenny), Brandon Ashlock (Stephanie), Clint Ashlock (Jeanne), Brian Ashlock (Rachel), Felicia Harper (Terrance); great- grandchildren, Kelsea Palmer (Matt), Kayleigh Brinlee, Ariel Wolff (Mike), Abby Martin, Taylor Quinn Brinlee, Rusty Brinlee Jr, Ashlyn Brinlee, Grayson Brinlee, Elijah Harper, Koha Harper, Cypress Harper, Haven Harper, Rylie Ashlock, Dallas Ashlock, Isaac Ashlock (Katie), Kaylin Ashlock, Kaylee Ranton (Kye), Elliott Ashlock; Lorelei Ashlock, Gavin Collier, Seven Collier, great great grandson Stetson Ashlock, Jayden Palmer, Luke Palmer, Jasper Palmer, Bella Wolf, Ava Wolf; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
