Ms. Yawn went to her heavenly home on February 7, 2019 after a long term illness. She was a loving, giving woman, always lifting others spirits with laughter. She could grow anything and was an awesome southern cook. She loved fishing, gardening, and making preserves and tarts that she shipped all over the world for families to enjoy. Her laughter and gift of making all feel welcome will be missed dearly.
