Tributes have poured in for Flynn, who was a volleyball coach at Tippecanoe Middle School and a substitute teacher at Lifewise Academy.
“She was known for her beautiful smile, warmth, kindness, and the positive impact she had on so many—both in and out of the classroom and on the court,” Tipp City School wrote on Facebook. “Our thoughts are with all who are grieving during this difficult time. 🤍”
Lifewise Academy announced on Facebook a time for the community to gather in prayer following Flynn’s death.
“We are heartbroken by the passing of our teacher, Ashley Flynn,” Lifewise Academy wrote. “We know God is close.”
The Christian Life Center in Dayton identified Flynn as a “beloved member” of the church in a Facebook announcement by Pastor Jordan Hansen.
“Devoted servant of Jesus, and wife, mom, daughter… and so many other roles she fulfilled with grace, devotion and unconditional love… was murdered in her home,” Hansen said. “Ashley Flynn is with Jesus. Please pray for her husband and two daughters and extended family left behind.
“Please pray for God’s very Presence to bring comfort to an unfathomable situation,” he added, alongside a Bible scripture.
Police have urged anyone with information that could support their homicide investigation to contact Tipp City police at 937-667-311 or the Miami County Communications Center at 937-440-9911.
Representatives from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI) did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for further comment on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
