My dearest memories of Mrs Yanity were those times we spent working together at the church festival..something she did each year until 2016. I will never forget our conversations about family and church. I will always remember her wise advice and I will miss her dearly...especially in July when it is time for the festival. My deepest sympathy to all of her family. Fondly, Jane Marsh

Mrs. Yanity will never be forgotten. I can still picture her walking the halls of school, always in a dress and high heels. She had a wonderful sense of humor, too. She was one of those teachers you just don't forget, and I've been out of school for 35 years. RIP Mrs. Yanity. Prayers & sympathies to the family.

Mrs. Yanity always carried herself with such grace and dignity. I had the privilege to have her as a Mathematics and Physical Science teacher in the 70's. I remember her dancing at an assembly, attending a basketball game with your father, etc., always in high heels and a dress. She was the epitome of elegance and class. My prayers are with her family and friends. May you find comfort knowing that she is at peace with our Lord and Savior, and will be watching over you. Until we meet again, thank you to this amazing woman who taught us so much.

Mrs. Yanity was a very nice teacher. I am amazed that no matter how long is had been that she remembered me whenever I saw her. Prayers to you all.
