Nicholas Yarris Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 18, 2021.
After a long battle with Parkinson's Disease and Dementia, Nicholas Yarris Jr., age 90, peacefully took his last breath at home on December 18, 2021, surrounded by his beloved wife, children and grandchildren, who he adored more than anything else in the world. Nick managed his illness with strength and grace and wanted to spend as much time with his loved ones as possible. Nick loved telling his stories of life on the pig farm. He enjoyed dancing. With his beautiful wife Barbara. He was a roofer for 30 years. And everyone who knew Nick understood his love for the outdoors and wildlife. It was a fitting and wondrous surprise to find eight deer watching the house shortly before his last breath at 8:00 p.m. Nicholas Yarris of Aston, formerly of Southwest Philadelphia and the Meadows, was born on July 27, 1931. He was the son of the late Nicholas and Mary Yarris. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Barbara (nee Perry), brother Mike Yarris, sister Helen (Chick) MacDonald; Devoted father to the late Les Stumbaugh and surviving children Michael Stumbaugh (Kim), Barbara Ann Giunta (Vince), Carol Ann Borraccini (John), Nicholas Yarris (Eva), and Danielle Stumbaugh. A loving grandfather of Michael, Corey, Vincent (Candice), Dana (Wes), Bobby, Frankie (Alexa), Dylan (Devon), Madison, Celia, Nicholas, Stone and Marina; great grandchildren Moniya, Dominic, Joey, Natalia, Vincent V, and Mason, and soon to be great great grandchildren, Santino, and Olivia. Relatives and friends are invited to his viewing Wed. Eve. 6-8 pm at the Danjolell - Stigale memorial Home of Aston 3260 concord Road Aston. Funeral services will be held 8 pm in our main chapel. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers donations in Nick's name can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital @stjude.org

Aunt Barbara, you know Sandra and I will keep you and the family in our thoughts and prayers. We know how much Uncle Nick will be missed. I was so lucky to have the experience of helping Uncle Nick at the pig farms. I’m probably the only one who had to hose him down after he slipped and fell into the pig “pool”. My memories of riding in that old truck with him always make me smile. Love Tony and Sandra
