Irnetz Yarborough

Jane Irnetz Powell Yarborough, 86, was born in Ben Hill, Georgia on February 21, 1931. She went to her eternal home on February 18, 2018. A chapel service and burial will be held Saturday, February 24, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Funeral Home in Gotha, Florida.

Irnetz was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ since placing her faith in Him as a child, recognizing that her sin separated her from a holy God, but that Christ's sacrificial death on the cross and resurrection made a way for her to live an abundant life and enjoy eternal life with Him now.

She taught children's Sunday School classes for many years and she made sure that her own children knew how to have a relationship with Jesus through her teachings in the home and regular church attendance. She loved playing the piano and was the church pianist at Conway Baptist Church, Orlando, for many years. To the delight of fellow residents, she also played hymns and old classic songs at Inspired Living of Ocoee where she lived since 2017. In recent years, Irnetz taught a senior adult ladies Bible Study class at First Baptist Church, Winter Garden, Florida.

Irnetz graduated from Russell High School in Atlanta, Georgia. She married B. Robert Yarborough, Jr., on May 4, 1951 and began raising a family. Eventually, the family relocated to Orlando where she worked for Judge Thomas E. Kirkland and, his son, Judge Thomas R. Kirkland. Irnetz later went to work for the City of Orlando Accounting Department and retired as Accounts Payable Supervisor after 25 years.

Irnetz was predeceased by her parents, Ralph E. and Leone Tucker Powell, sister Delores Leone Wilmoth, brother Ralph Lindy Powell, her husband B. Robert Yarborough, Jr. and their two infant children, Lee and Amy Leone Yarborough.
