Yolanda grew up in Mexico and came to San Diego at the age of 28. She had a passion for working with young children, which led her to Head Start where she made many lasting friendships and good memories. At the age of 45, Yolanda completed her education, which began with ESL classes and a GED, and received a Master's Degree in Human Services. She was as hardworking at home as she was at work and school. Yolanda enjoyed gardening, reading, sewing, knitting and crocheting, and spending time with her children. When she was not working at Head Start, with the young children, you would find her spending time with her grandson Wesley, doing housework, or studying the Bible with her friends. Her faith in God brought the best out of her. She was humble, respectable, and accepting of everyone. More than anything she was a beloved mother and grandmother; her children and grandchild were everything to her, they were the light of her life.
Yolanda is survived by daughter Nefris A. Palacios Lara, sons Andrew L. Vargas and David L. Vargas, grandson Wesley A. Rehn, father José Lara Patiño, and 10 brothers and sisters. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Yolanda was preceded in death by her brother José Lara Trejo and her mother Imelda Trejo Martinez.
A celebration of life for Yolanda will be held Friday, June 28, 2019 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at Conrad Lemon Grove Mortuary, 7387 Broadway, Lemon Grove, CA 91945
