Family and friends of Ashley Nicole Bates and her six-year-old daughter Ashlynn are still trying to come to grips with their death. The two were killed in a car crash Sunday night near the intersection of Castle Heights Road and Glenwood Road in Morris. Friends today told us Nicole Bates had seen a lot of hardship in her 30 years of life, including the death of her only sibling, a brother, about five years ago, and a divorce. But they say she had just bought a house with her boyfriend about a mile from the accident scene and was in a much happier place lately when this tragedy came last night. State troopers aren't saying yet what caused Bates' car to crash into a tree, but the accident killed both Bates and her six-year old daughter Ashlynn. Bates also has an eight-year old son who was not in the car. Nicole Bates recently worked at law firm Maynard, Cooper, and Gale and one of her former co-workers said Bates was loved by her coworkers and could be described in one-word: vivacious. "She was just funny," said Joy Quarles. "She could cut up and laugh, she just enjoyed--you could go around and joke and cut up with her, and she'd laugh. I'm sure she had her sad times, we all do, but she was, like I said, a fun person to be around." According to the family, funeral arrangements for Nicole and Ashlynn Bates are still pending.
