Kathyrn Sue Miller Yancey passed away on December 5, 2025, after a long battle with Parkinson's disease and dementia.

She was born on April 21, 1950, in Storm Lake, Iowa, to Delbert and Doris Miller. Kathy was the fourth of six children.

Kathy grew up moving around the country as her father transferred with his job. She attended schools in several different states and graduated from Cooper High School in Abilene, Texas, with the Class of 1968.

On May 26, 2000, she married Allen Yancey. Kathy and Allen's life was full of adventures. They loved to square dance and line dance and did so for many years until Kathy's health interfered. They made several trips with his Air Force Reserves, with Kathy traveling to wherever he was to spend any free time with him. Kathy loved to travel and made trips to Hawaii, Alaska, South Dakota, Colorado, Mississippi, Maryland, Florida and even Australia.

Family was very important to Kathy. She spent many hours at soccer, softball, basketball and volleyball games. As she gained grandchildren, she watched and cheered at as many games as she could with them, too. Her faith and her church family were also very important to her. She loved the Lord and worship services and participated in as many programs as she could.
