    Yancey was one of my dearest childhood friends on Duncan street. We attended Courtenay elementary school, played, went to movies, ball games, etc. She even encouraged me to join the local YWCA because she was a member. I remember her as being nice, kind, funny and a very caring & sharing person. I saw her a number of years ago along with my daughter who was visiting with me. She was tickled pink to meet a childhood friend of mine, especially when Yancey commenced in revealing some of our childish antics. It was so nice seeing her that time. I won't forget it or her! To the family: May tender memories soften your grief. May fond recollections bring you relief and may you find comfort and peace in the thought of the joy that having Yancey in your lives brought. May she rest in eternal peace.🙏 Emmajean (Fabers) Wilder
