Georgeanna was an honor roll and dean’s list student at Stautzenberger College of Business in Toledo, OH, where she earned her associate’s degree in accounting. Her steady focus and commitment to doing things well remained a defining thread throughout her life.
Gifted with her hands and rich in creativity, Georgeanna especially loved crafting—most notably making lamps. She also carried an explorer’s spirit, planting roots in multiple states and embracing each new chapter with openness and curiosity. She had a rare ease with people and “never met a stranger,” greeting others with a warmth that made them feel immediately welcome.
Those who knew Georgeanna will remember a woman who loved life wholeheartedly—who delighted in dancing and laughing, and who could see beauty in everything. She was unique in countless ways: gregarious, free-spirited, big-hearted, and open-armed, bringing smiles to everyone around her. She was, in every sense, authentically, shamelessly, and unapologetically herself—very much her own person—paired with a wicked sense of humor that often arrived dry and perfectly timed.
Above all, Georgeanna’s love for her family was unmistakable. She put herself out there for those she loved, and she was especially obsessed with her daughter and grandchildren, holding them close with pride and affection.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Angela Ambrosio and husband, Leif; her grandchildren, Dallas Ambrosio and Destiny Ambrosio; her partner, Floyd Carr; her brothers, Jim Yant and wife, Dee, Leroy Yant and wife, April, Clint Yant, and Tim Yant and wife, Jill; her sisters, Candy Yant, Annette Gajewski and husband, David, and Colleen Williams; and her sister-in-law, Sue Ann Yant; along with multiple beloved and cherished nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews and extended family members.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Anna Yant; brothers, Percy Dale “Bud” Farero, Tom Yant, Bill Yant, and Larry Yant; her sisters, Sis Beller and Trudy Yant; her sisters-in-law, Mary Sue Yant and Julie Yant; and her brothers-in-law, Mike Williams, Ronald Duke, and Dennis Beller.
Georgeanna will be remembered with respect and gratitude for the light she brought into the lives of others. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
