Catherine Mae Yoder-Wallace

Catherine was raised in the Mennonite brethren, growing up a devout member of their faith. After graduating high school, she attended Hesston College in Kansas. Catherine served as the president of the women’s ministry in California for several years. In her free time, she enjoyed reading books, and she also spent every moment that she could with her grandchildren.

She was married to Raymond Yoder in Colorado Springs, and they were happily married for 39 years. After his passing, she later remarried to “Wally” Wallace, and they were together for 18 years. She embraced Wally’s family as her own, and she made her family the priority of her life. She was a devout Christian until her final days, and she will be dearly missed by those who knew her.

She is preceded in death by: parents, Peter and Myrtle Friesen; husband, Raymond Yoder; brothers, Herb and Don Friesen; and son, Jonathan Yoder.

She is survived by: son, David Yoder (Carla) of Pahrump, NV; daughters, Linda Yoder of Rogers, AR, and Susan Smith of Bentonville, AR; grandchildren, Phillip Maag, Candace Yarbrough, Amber Schultz, Devin Clevenger, James Yoder, Lance Yoder, Christopher Smith, and Henry Yoder, along with great grandchildren and her Wallace extended family.
