Whether she was Tap dancing or driving a John Deere loader there was little she could not do.

She was passionate, protective, loyal and loved her family. She married her husband John while in college, and they met when they were teenagers. John was the love of her life, and for 54 years, together they embarked in a lifelong adventure that allowed them to live their lives in their own way in their own space and with eternal love.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years John Alfred Yeager Jr. and leaves behind her daughter Sherry Angelique (Angel) Yeager Brown, Son-in-law Maurice (Moe) Brown and her grandson Alexander (Alex) Guy.
