She was involved in 4-H for over 15 years. She taught crafts, cooking and sewing. Y enjoyed judging and volunteering at the Sevier County and surrounding county fairs.

In her younger years she enjoyed the outdoors and hunting with the love of her life, Gordie. She was a great shot! They went everywhere together and never missed a horse race, a Jazz game or a family gathering. Y treated everyone like family and was always the life of the party. She had so many friends and was always having a good time.
Y'Ora was the rock of our family. She took care of all of us. She made us laugh with her funny sayings and always had a treat or a new recipe for us to try. We are going to miss her so much.
