Ashley Pryor
Every month, we love taking a moment to recognize one of our incredible MomCo members—women who embody the heart of service, encouragement and faith in action. These are the mamas who show up, pour out and quietly inspire everyone around them. We gather nominations from fellow members who’ve witnessed that impact firsthand, and this month’s spotlight is full of love, resilience and deep encouragement.
Amy Kruger has been part of MomCo for three and a half years, and when we asked her who she wanted to recognize, she didn’t hesitate—Ashley Pryor. Their friendship spans nearly five years, and Amy had so many beautiful things to say about Ashley’s heart, story and the strength she brings to their community.
Amy, tell us a little about Ashley and how you know her.
Ashley and I have known each other for almost five years now, and let me tell you—she is one of those people who immediately lights up a room. She’s been part of our MomCo Meetup for about a year and a half, and she jumped right into leadership. This year, she’s served as our marketing lead, and next year she’s stepping into a new role as our member care and service lead. That role couldn’t be more perfect for her—Ashley’s heart is all about caring for people.
What’s something about Ashley that stands out to you? A moment where she really went above and beyond?
Ashley’s whole life is a testimony to God’s faithfulness and her own deep perseverance. Her daughter Ella, who is soon to be a middle child, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) as a tiny baby. That kind of diagnosis is life-changing—and instead of shrinking back, Ashley leaned in. She’s become a passionate advocate and fundraiser for CF research. She’s hosted BBQs, designed t-shirts, helped sponsor major events like the CF walk, and even holds a leadership position with the CF Foundation.
But what’s even more beautiful is how she shares her story to uplift others. Ashley doesn’t just talk about the hard things—she uses her journey to inspire and encourage the moms around her. Her testimony is powerful, and she’s always pointing people back to hope and community. She genuinely loves MomCo, and you can feel it in the way she shows up and serves.
What kind of impact has she had on you personally?
Ashley has been such an encouragement to me over the years. She’s the kind of friend who always shows up with a smile and a heart ready to serve. Even on hard days, she has a kind word or a quiet strength that lifts the whole room. Personally, I’ve watched her press on when life could’ve easily knocked her down—and she did it with grace and determination. She’s a reminder that God gives us strength for every battle.
If you could say one thing to Ashley right now, what would it be?
Sweet Ashley—you will never fully understand the impact you have on the mamas around you. Your story is inspiring, your faith is contagious, and your love for others is so real and deep. When the world said “give up,” you kept going. Not just for your family, but for everyone walking through their own hard thing. You’re a fighter, a friend and a light—and being around you is truly a blessing. You show people Jesus just by being you.
