Helen Ashworth Obituary
Helen "Freddy" Ashworth was born Nov. 17, 2000, in Findlay, during the first snow of the season. They left us too soon Friday, Dec. 2, 2022.
Freddy's parents, Robert and Jeanne (Lange) Ashworth, along with their sister, Sarah Ashworth, and honorary sister, Haley Johnston, survive. Also surviving are their grandmother, Susanne Lange, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Freddy spent their early years in Tiffin, attending Bridges Community Academy and St. Mary's School, before moving to Powell and Worthington, Ohio. They graduated from Thomas Worthington High School on May 19, 2019.
Freddy was passionate about caring for the earth, living justly, and treating everyone with compassion and respect. They spent the last year working as assistant to Sr. Shirley Shafranek at Seeds of Hope Farm, part of the Franciscan Earth Literacy Center in Tiffin. At FELC, Freddy spent their time planting and tending crops in the greenhouse and gardens, caring for the chickens, and working alongside the developmentally disabled employees at Seeds of Hope Farm.
A celebration of Freddy's life will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10, 2022, at Engle-Shook Funeral Home, 135 North Washington Street, Tiffin. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Freddy Ashworth Memorial Fund at Franciscan Earth Literacy Center.

Separated by a thousand miles and two generations, we did not know Freddy until a few years ago. Whenever we were with them, they were unfailingly pleasant, witty, engaging and solicitous of our comfort. Freddy will be missed and will continue in our love as long as we live. We share the Ashworth, Lange, and Gerhardstein families´ sorrow.
Great Aunt Lanie, Uncle Chris, Alex, Christina, Byron, Juni and Des

Freddy was incredibly loved. They were a great sparring partner in conversation, no matter the topic, and had so much to share. Jeanne, Rob, Sarah, Haley, Sue and all the family and friends, you are constantly in our thoughts. And we´re always here for anything. Love Jenny & Tony
