Yolanda Gonzales, a beloved figure in her community, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025, in Crandall, Texas, at the age of 65. Born on November 11, 1959, in Gossett, Texas, Yolanda was a kind and welcoming soul whose warmth touched the lives of many.
For years, she dedicated her life to her career as a cashier, where her affable nature shone brightly. It was not just her skills behind the register that left an impression; it was her genuine smile and eagerness to help anyone, that truly set her apart. Friends and customers alike often spoke of how Yolanda could turn a simple shopping trip into a heartwarming experience, always ready to lend an ear or share a laugh.
Yolanda's kindness extended beyond her professional life. She was a deeply caring individual, who loved her family fiercely. She leaves behind her devoted spouse, Bennie Alaniz, and her cherished daughter, Alejandra Hill. Their lives were enriched by her generous spirit, nurturing heart, and unwavering support.
As we remember Yolanda, we celebrate the joyful moments and countless warm interactions that reflect her life. She embodied love and compassion, and her legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A visitation will be held in her honor on Friday, September 19, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Anderson - Clayton Funeral Home, located at 305 N Jackson St, Kaufman, Texas. In this time of remembrance, we invite all who knew Yolanda to come together, share stories, and honor a remarkable woman who made the world a brighter place with her presence.
