Alice Faye Yandle

Alice Faye Yandle, 70, of Charlotte, North Carolina, passed away on May 19, 2026. Born November 18, 1955, in Charlotte, Alice was raised in the city she always called home, and her life there was marked by steady devotion to others, expressed through quiet generosity, thoughtful care, and a compassionate spirit that left a lasting impression on those who knew her.

Alice graduated from Garinger High School and attended East Way Junior High School. During her years at Garinger, she proudly served as the school mascot—an early reflection of the warmth and good will she so naturally shared. She also attended Brigham Young University for a semester, where she met the Osmond family, an experience she remembered with special appreciation.

Alice brought both skill and heart to her work. She was employed for a time at Harris Teeter as a cake decorator, and she spent most of her career at Food Lion in the Bakery and Deli. Known for making beautiful cakes, she took genuine pride in creating something that could brighten a celebration, offering her talents in a way that felt characteristically selfless and kind.

In her personal life, Alice found joy in simple pleasures and longtime interests. As a young girl, she took ballet lessons. She loved bowling with her mother, and she enjoyed baking cakes and crafting—pastimes that suited her careful, considerate nature. Her most noted hobby was following Bon Jovi; she was friends with his mom during the early years, a connection she valued and spoke of with fondness.

Alice also gave her time in service to her community, volunteering at the Board of Elections—an act of civic-minded care that reflected her steady compassion and willingness to help where she was needed.

Alice was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Criag Yandle. She was an only child.

A Graveside Service will be held at McEwen Funeral Service at Sharon Memorial Park, 5716 Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC 28212, on June 23, 2026, from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
