ASHBRIDGE Continued from Page 1 and was interested in and en- couraging to the library staff.” Ashbridge and his wife, Betty, of Shavertown, became involved in volunteering at the auction in 1959 when Betty was the antiques chairman. Ernie took over the position and volun- teered for the next 50 years until 2009 when he stepped down for health reasons. The pair was inseparable - Er- nie moving the heavy furniture while Betty cleaned and cata- logued it all. They ran an estate sale business together, suggest- ing to families to donate left- overs from a sale to the auction. In addition to his wife, Ernie leaves behind a son, Ernie III, daughter Robyn Carson and three grandchildren, Ernest Anew Ashbridge, A.J. Carson and Amanda Carson. During the 2009 library auc- tion, Sue Hand, an area artist and yearly contributor to the auction, painted a tribute to Ashbridge. The painting was bought by a group of about 40 individuals from the commu- nity, some contributing as much as $1,000, netting thousands of dollars for the library. The picture was then given to Ash- bridge as a token of his 50 years of service to the auction. Ashbridge’s largesse and com- forting spirit extended to the greater Back Mountain com- munity, as well. The retired Ha- nover Bank executive served on the Dallas School Board for 32 years, 15 years as its president, and represented Dallas on the West Side Vo-Tech board. “He was the man behind the scenes of so many successful Back Mountain community en- deavors that today make such a difference in our community. We rode on his expertise,” said State Rep. Karen Boback, who LUCAS FARMS HUGE, HUGE, HUGE SALE! ICEBERG LETTUCE 79¢.

He was my buddy and got me involved in volunteering at the library auction.” In 2009, the last year he was antiques chairman, Ashbridge was quoted in an article in The Dallas Post. “Even if I'm not a chairman next year, I'll always be here helping them. I'll never go away. They can’t get rid of me,” he chuckled. “ I do enjoy auctions.” Friends are invited to call from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 19 at the Disque Funeral Home, 672 Memorial Highway, Dallas.
