Yolie will be missed by my family and I. She has always had a special place in our hearts. She and her husband have a bond unlike I have ever seen and their daughter holds all their beautiful qualities. The 3 of them have served in many ways in life. Yolie and George are so proud of their son and daughter. The way you see them as a family is a testimony to their love and trust in the Lord and faithfulness to Him. Yolie has a way of always appearing in situations when you didn't even know you needed it. She is always there with information on something she has read or an experience to share in a way that comforts and enlightens. Her sweet giggle is refreshing and her food is just amazing! She can give you a recipe for all she makes or she can throw it together with just ingredients in her frig and it still is the best you have ever tasted. Her gift of teaching is shared and loved by all. My boys always loved having Yolie as their teacher in Bible class. She passed that gift on to her daughter Pam. Yolie gave with her heart in a quiet approach but with a big impact. A woman with so many wonderful gifts and talents from God that she never took for granted. She continued to share them with her family and with the world. You can see that in her husband and children. She is a wonderful woman to have known and to love.

My thoughts and prayers for the family of Yoli Brown. She was a very special lady, so kind and thoughtful to everyone. I loved her laugh and her lessons she taught in our ladies classes. She is truly missed.

When I think of my Aunt Yolie, I immediately think of the one Christmas when all of us went over and someone brought “the 12 days of Christmas ornaments “. After passing around the ornaments, as a family we all began to sing the 12 Days of Christmas taking turns to sing our parts. It’s a memory I think about every Christmas and one that always brings a smile to my face. Aunt Yolie was the most kind person and always made me feel her home was an extension of my own. It was always a comfort knowing that she was there and now she will be dearly missed. I know that my Grandma and Aunt Sissy were there to welcome her home. I love you Aunt Yolie. Thank you for everything. Rest In Peace.

Yollie was my Forever Friend. We became friends in Brandon Hugh School in the fifties and kept our friendship close and real every year. I always looked forward to calling her on her Birthday to sing Happy Birthday. She and George use to “Double Date” with my husband and me in our younger years and share many fun and precious memories. I always admired Yollie’s many achievements and academic honors. Our lives are saddened and we will miss her. She and George will always remain dear to our hearts! We send our love to George, David, Pam and family.

I was a Delta Zeta sister of Yolie at the University of Tampa. She was a couple of years ahead of me, but so sweet in helping me adjust to college life. I married & moved to Brooksville not having the chance to touch base with her, but sweet memories last a life time…RIP Yolie

You only was a sister and friend in our hearts. I do not think death can separate us we loved her with all that we are. When Kathy and I are having our daughter Havilah we went to Yoli and asked her advice, and she told us "have them read, read, read". We followed her advice for both our daughters, and those few words became a staple for Abbey as well and the signature of their lives. Kathy and I remind them every so often it was because of Yoli that we did this. They know, they knew Yoli and they know George and they cherish them as we do. She will always be in our hearts as long as we live and in the hearts of our children who love her dearly.

Yolie was a strong Christian. She always had something nice to say. She was very hospitable, very compassionate, and very thoughtful of others

She exemplified a good, Christian woman. She will be missed
