She was the “queen” of garage sales. Yolanda graduated from Sidney Lanier High School, Class of 1973. She worked at the Hyatt Regency Resort for 11years.She loved her family very much. Her favorite drink was strawberry margaritas with sugar. She Loved her husband, Manuel with all her heart (que ajuanté), she would say. They would dance to their song “Reloj”. My Mom will be missed very much by all of us. She didn’t want anyone to be sad. She wanted us to celebrate her life and never forget any memories we shared with her. Anytime you see a Red Bird, think of her. She would pick up coins off the ground and say they were angels watching over us. We love you Mom, Yolanda, Yoli- La mera-mera.
