IN MEMORIAM Ashley Haws '12, passed away in a tragic boating accident in Lake Michigan near Chicago. The Post Tribune highlights, "Her mother, Sharon Rae Haws, told the Chicago Sun-Times her daughter grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, loved soccer and dreamed of practicing law. She realized that dream after graduating from Valparaiso University Law School in Indiana in 2012 and moving to Chicago, where she found a job practicing family law at the Davi Law Group. “She loved the big city,” Sharon Rae Haws said. Dion Davi, the founding attorney of the firm where Haws worked, described Haws as a “brilliant rising star in the legal community.” “She was loved by all that met her,” Davi said. “The law profession and the world have lost someone that was destined to do great things.” Our condolences go out to Ashley's family.
