Ashley had two passions in life: singing and aquatics, according to her dad, Bob Bucklin.

“To honor her spirit and enthusiasm, we established the Ashley Megan Bucklin
Memorial Scholarship Foundation to recognize outstanding seniors at all three Lake Elsinore High Schools who exhibit exceptional sportsmanship, leadership, inspiration and commitment to excellence in high school aquatics and singing programs,” he said.
