Ashro Woman: Felicia
Meet Ashro Woman of the Week, Felicia from Roseville, MI
“It’s the small things that are big to me.”
Felicia is a retired teacher, a baker, and the youngest of 14 siblings!
“My mother was and always will be my biggest and greatest hero. She was simply amazing raising 14 children.” Even with this great level of responsibility, Felicia’s mother “dressed to the nines,” something that Felicia carries on to this day in her own classy/sassy style.
As we all know, life comes with trials. For Felicia, those trials have been lung and pancreatic cancer. Felicia keeps on keeping on, though, sharing advice with others on how to keep pushing forward. When we asked her if she is a woman of faith.
She said, “Yes I am. I stand on Faith, Belief and Hope.
