Yvonne Grace Leach

Yvonne Grace Leach, born in Jersey City, New Jersey on July 23, 1960, to the late Robert and Sadie Anderson, passed away peacefully at Brook Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas on October 17, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Yvonne was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, auntie and friend. Throughout her life, she was known for her unwavering love, strength, and deep commitment to her family. Proudly devoting more than 46 years as a full-time military mom and wife, Yvonne stood faithfully beside her family through the many unique challenges, sacrifices, and journeys that came with military life. Her resilience and steady guidance were the cornerstone of her family’s home, no matter where life took them.

Beyond her steadfast devotion to her family, Yvonne possessed a gift for song. She loved to sing, mesmerizing everyone with her breathtaking voice and bringing joy and comfort to all who had the pleasure of hearing her. Her greatest happiness, however, was simply being surrounded by her family, offering unconditional love, encouragement, and creating cherished memories that will be passed down through generations.

Yvonne is survived by her beloved husband, Elton Leach; her sons, Jovan (Jacqueline), Jerod, Jerald (Jennifer), Jerome (Brianna), and Namir; her daughter Antoinette (Arrec), her grandchildren, Jovan Jr., Khareem, Tatyanna, Amani, Jurion, Kendrah, Jace, Annaliyah and Aryianna; her great-grandsons, Khalid and Khairo; as well as her siblings and a rich community of extended family and lifelong friends.

Her dedication as a matriarch leaves a lasting legacy of love, sacrifice, and togetherness. Yvonne will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Though she is no longer with us, her beautiful voice, strength, and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of those she loved so dearly.
