John Henry Conley Yeary Obituary
Mr. Yeary was a devoted member of Medora Pentecostal Church for many years, faithfully serving in numerous capacities within the congregation. He had a deep and abiding faith and a profound love for the Lord.
John dedicated over 50 years to the J.C. Groub Company in Seymour, where he worked until his retirement in 2016.
John's family meant the world to him. He cherished every moment spent with them, especially the time shared with his beloved grandchildren. He also had a passion for raising farm animals, with a special fondness for horses. John took great joy in restoring tractors and his Lionel trains.
Born on October 5, 1943, in Lee County, Virginia, John was the son of Art and Martha Jane (Stewart) (Collins) Yeary, both of whom preceded him in death. On April 2, 1967, in Easyville, he married Pat McCory, and she survives in Freetown.
