The couple, who own Priorities Home Improvements, volunteered their time and equipment to pick up trash, mow, trim weeds and trees and scrub the walls of the cemetery. Ashley said a post on social media regarding the cemetery’s poor condition and overgrown landscape prompted them into action. She said they plan to return to the cemetery on a different day to plant flowers.
