Mint Hill, North Carolina - A life full of love and beauty. Monia (Yaya) Bass Summers, age 78, of Mint Hill, NC, and previously of Hilton Head Island, SC, passed this world much too soon for those who love her dearly.

She was also predeceased by her beloved mother, Eva Bass Clark; and brothers, Thomas Earl Bass and Elliotte Bass. She is survived by her loving sister, Genivee Stein (Michael); her devoted children, Pam Sherman (Dan), Preston Walters, and June Arrington (Ray).

Monia's professional background was in graphic arts. Her loves include sewing and embroidery, home decorating, canvas painting, and duck carving. Her greatest love was quilting where she produced magnificent pieces for her own enjoyment and countless pieces created for and cherished by her loved ones as well as donated to give peace and comfort for children who are ill and the elderly.

Monia (Yaya, Mama) was a beautiful light in this world, and she will be missed by so many. Her light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who loved her.
