Late ‘Little Women, Atlanta’ Star Ashley ‘Minnie’ Ross’ Most Teachable Moments

On Monday, the world said good-bye to the loving daughter, supportive friend and admirable reality star Ashley Ross,  who succumbed to injuries from a car accident in Atlanta, Ga.

Thirty-four years old at the time of her death, “Ms. Minnie” Ross had starred on the popular Lifetime show “Little Women: Atlanta” since 2016. Ross will likely be remembered by fans as being headstrong and humorous while having an all-around exemplary character.

In her honor, here’s a look at some of her most teachable moments.

1.  Ross shows the importance of putting your best foot forward (even if you don’t succeed the first time) and having good friends and family members by your side as she attempts to run a 5K.

2. Many people have told a fib or two in their lifetime, but here, Ms. Minnie teaches just how well the truth will set you free.

3. It’s no secret that Ross and her “LWA” co-star, Shirlene “Ms. Juicy” Pearson have had their share of feuds, but in this clip, Ross, who is enjoying time with her new goddaughter (daughter of dear friend Andrea Salinas), remains level-headed as Pearson takes low blows at her. Then, after she hands her goddaughter off, she politely and maturely excuses Pearson from her friend’s home.

4. Not only was Ross a no-nonsense type of person, but she was also a very generous one. While volunteering at a senior center with the Rickey Smiley Foundation, she gifted Rickey Smiley something very special.

5. When she needed advice on how to host a radio show, Ross had no idea that her friend Karlous Miller and his co-host Chico Bean would invite her to perform on their famed 85 South Show podcast—and especially not right on the spot. Guess this goes to show that questions can sometimes have some very rewarding answers.

Ross is survived by her mother Tammy Jackson, her aunt Veronica Deloney, her uncle John Deloney and her grandmother Rose Deloney. Her family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.
