Johnetta Catherine Ash was born July 8, 1952 to Mabel Idell Spears-Toombs and James Walter Ash. She attended East Tech High School and earned her Masters Degree in Social work from Cleveland State University. Johnetta worked at various Nonprofit organizations. She helped thousands of people overcome drug, alcohol and mental health issues. Known to most as Candy, she was as bold, beautiful, astonishing and surprising as a fire cracker!
