Asya Gurary was the daughter of Moisey Khorozhansky (1887, Kremenchuk – 1944, Frunze) and Berta Khorozhanskaya (née Meller, 1897, Žagarė). In 1941, she was evacuated with her mother to the city of Frunze. In 1943, she enrolled at the Kyrgyz State Pedagogical Institute, transferring in 1944 to the Kharkiv Pedagogical Institute. In 1945, Asya Gurary moved to Riga.

Until 1950, she was a homemaker. In 1950, she worked as a librarian at the “Bulduri” sanatorium in Jūrmala. From 1961 to 1978, she was employed as an operator at the “Rīgas Foto” plant.

In her marriage to Alexander Gurary (b. 1920, Kremenchuk; later divorced), she had a daughter, Elizaveta Timenchik (née Gurary, b. 1946, Riga). In 1978, Asya Gurary received permission to emigrate to Israel, invited by her cousin Chaya Kvits (née Meller, b. 1920, Poltava).
