Yasuko was born on April 3, 1936, in Japan under a beautiful cherry blossom tree.  She was a skilled seamstress and enjoyed making clothes and costumes for her girls and grandchildren.  Nothing was more fun than a weekend getaway with a shopping excursion and eating out at nice restaurants.  Always ready for a new adventure, Yasuko enjoyed traveling, cruising with family, seeing new sights, and experiencing new customs. She was a competitive bowler and could bowl a strike with ease. She loved some football and supporting her Carolina Panthers. She had a beautiful smile and brought joy into every room she entered.  She will be fondly remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

She is survived by her loving husband, Edward C. Cheever; daughter, Cathy Hill and husband Kevin of Morehead City; son, Jimmy Cheever and wife Geri of Newport; grandchildren, Whitney Hill Girard, J.J. Cheever, Thomas Cheever, Anthony Cheever, Michelle Cooper, Kevin Cooper and Gene Adams; great-grandchildren, Hailey Cheever, Hannah Cheever, Bailey Renfrow, Nevaeh Cheever, Macon Cheever, Ada Cooper Mitiguy, Luke Cooper Mitiguy, Easton Adams, Emersyn Adams, Isabella Cooper, Luna Cooper, and Lila Cooper.
