Mrs. Yelverton loved her family first and foremost; they meant more to her than anything. She always looked forward to each holiday and spending time with them. She adored her kids, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A God-loving woman, she was known for her contagious smile and laugh. She loved everyone she came across and always greeted everyone with a welcoming smile characterized by her signature lipstick. Her caring, patient heart loved unconditionally. She was thankful for everything in her life that she was blessed with and never had a single complaint. Her genuine spirit will be deeply missed.
She is survived by her children, Carol Yelverton, Frank Andy Yelverton (Dulcie), and Dianna Zendejas (Arnulfo); grandchildren, Cheryl McKeithen (Scott), Kari Zendejas, Cody Yelverton, Kelby Zendejas, Lydia Eaton, Ryan Yelverton, and Wyatt Eaton; great-grandchildren, Kylie McKeithen, Brayden McKeithen, and Bron Purvis; sisters, Hazel Minter and Helen Ray; and numerous nieces and nephews.
