Carla Lee (Ashlock) Shores

Carla Lee (Ashlock) Shores, 56, was born in Tulsa, OK on December 24, 1962 to Robert and Mary (James) Ashlock and peacefully passed away March 4, 2019 at her home in Braggs. She attended school in Tulsa and graduated from Braggs High School in 1981. She was a devoted wife to Bill Shores, blessing their family with two sons, Bruce Kyle and Christopher Shores. She worshipped our Lord at Braggs Emmanuel Pentecostal Holiness Church, lifting others in faith with her dedication to God. She often was called first for prayer, as the ultimate prayer warrior. Her career was well spent touching lives with Goodwill Industries, and was a homemaker. She never met anyone who left as a stranger and will be missed by many. Carla enjoyed visiting the beaches in Florida, basking in the sun and admiring the ocean’s depth. Carla was the life of the party, bringing smiles to everyone’s faces. There wasn’t a moment that passed where she didn’t bring joy to those around her, sharing her own light within.
