ASHBRIDGE

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

served on the library board of
directors with Ashbridge
“I can’t look at a piece of glass
without thinking what he taught
me about antiques,” she added.
“Pm missing a true friend
here today,” said Joe Stager,
who co-chaired the auction with
Ashbridge in 2000. “He gave his
whole life to this community,
had good ideas, would listen
and respected your position, as
well.”
Steve Traver, an area auc-
tioneer, credits Ashbridge with
helping him in his career. “Er-
nie helped me grow, gain my
confidence back and got me
into some high-end estate sales.
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.
Funeral services will be private.
