She was preceded in death by her husband, Yon; a daughter, Susan, who died in 1996 from AML leukemia and a sister, Martha.

Mrs. Yannayon was born May 23, 1950, at Ethridge, Tenn., to Bernard and Lina Mazelin. She married Yon Yannayon on Dec. 23, 1975, in Lynchburg, Tenn. He died from cancer on April 27, 2001.

Mrs. Yannayon was a loving grandmother. She really enjoyed her garden and always had the most beautiful flowers. She enjoyed working for Erick and Erica Burton in their home for over 20 years. Their two boys, Conner and Evan, were very special to her. In the last few years since her cancer diagnosis she baked many cookies to sell at Sunny Gardens.

She accepted Christ as her Savior in her youth and served Him faithfully throughout her life. Her faithful example was an inspiration to many. She enjoyed her church family and was a member of the Golden City Mennonite Fellowship Church.

The family wants to thank everyone for the support and encouragement that was shown through the many prayers and food during her passing.
