She was born in the Kansas City area on December 1st, 1989 to Larry Yount and Sharon Grimsley. Courtney graduated from Lee’s Summit High School in 2008. Her zest for life was contagious and she had a smile which brightened the lives of those around her. Courtney loved spending time with her family, goofing around with her nieces and co-piloting her step-mom, Debby Yount’s UTV.
She is survived by her dad and step-mom, Larry and Debby Yount; step-dad, Tim Grimsley; brothers, Brandon Yount and Tom Grimsley; sisters, Monica Vincent and Erin Grimsley; nieces, Haley and Dylan Yount; nephews, Jacob and Samuel Vincent and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends (that she also considered family).
She will be laid to rest and reunited with her mom, whom she missed dearly for the past 8 years. Her wonderful spirit, joy, and talents will be celebrated in a private service with close family and friends.
