Pat Yant Obituary
Pat was a wonderful woman who left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her. Kind-hearted and deeply devoted to her family, she showed her love through steady presence, thoughtful care, and unwavering support. She dedicated 50 years of service to Renasant Bank, where she was known for her strong work ethic and loyalty. Even after retiring, she continued to serve part-time, a testament to her commitment and the relationships she built there.
A lifelong member of Oak Hill Community Church, Pat's faith was the foundation of her life. She was a strong Christian woman whose actions reflected her beliefs through compassion, generosity, and love for others. In her quieter moments, she found joy in tending her yard and flowers, working puzzles, and cooking for those she loved. Pat will be remembered as a caring, loving soul whose legacy lives on in the many lives she touched.
She is survived by her children, Billy Yant (Monda), Mitchell Yant (Deborah), and Pam Hardenburg (De); grandchildren, Jason Yant (Jordan), Jamie Yant (Jay Mar), Jessie Hawks (Zack), Kimberly Yant, Jonathon Yant (Anna), Dylan Renick, and Dalton Renick (Lydia); step-grandchildren, Craig Lee, Tiffany Lee, and D.C. Hardenburg (Dawn); and a host of great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Cecil and Mary Ellen Estes; siblings, Bud Estes and Evelyn Willis.
