Howard Yancy Obituary
Graveside services were held at Oak Hill Cemetery on Sunday, November 6, 2022.
Howard was a rancher most of his life and sheared sheep and goats for many people in Lampasas and Burnet counties as well as cut cedar, built fences, and did some carpentry. He was a hard worker who had a great memory and loved telling stories and jokes, hunting, and visiting with people.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Billie Ruth in 2010; his brothers, Daniel Yancy and Sherwood Yancy and his sister Deloyce Curry.
Survivors include his son, David Yancy, and wife Sally; daughter, Dana Smith, and husband Mark; grandchildren, Sawyer Smith and wife Marisa, Caul Smith, and wife Abbie and Quint Smith.
In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations are made to the Professional Fire Fighters Association of Lampasas, 1107 E. 4th St, Lampasas, TX, 76550
The family would also like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Lampasas Assisted Living for the wonderful care they gave Howard during his time there.

He was a beautiful person my favorite memory of him was when I got him a Storm special and large starwberry shake for his birthday the smile on his face made my day a true cowboy

Howard is my neighbor and growing up he was always telling stories and jokes and laughing. I will always remember listening to him. He was the hardest worker and friendliest person I know. These were the times when all the neighbors got together to work cows, mark calves, and shear sheep.
He will surely be missed.
