Yvonne Greer

Yvonne was the oldest daughter of Vernon & Gladys Young (Highland Kentucky) with 11 younger siblings. As the oldest of this amazing family, Yvonne felt like a mother to each of them and had the opportunity to pour into their lives by providing love, prayers, sometimes a roof over their heads, and always a meal on her table for whomever may need a place to sit. The Young family from Highland is known for their natural, God given talent and love for music. As a family the beloved connections always centered around their laughter and harmonies. Yvonne was employed for many years at American Greeting in Danville, Ky. She was devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, cherished family member, and faithful servant of the Lord, Yvonne passed away peacefully on September 16, 2024 at the age of 88. Born on February 21, 1936 in Stanford, Kentucky. She lived a life filled with love, faith, hard work and dedication.

Her unwavering devotion to her family was matched only by her love for the Lord. A true prayer warrior, she spent countless hours lifting up her children, grandchildren great-grandchildren, extended family and friends in prayer, exemplifying what it means to live a life of faith. Her heart was filled with warmth, kindness, and prayer. Her little coffee/cookie container was always filled with her famous no bake oatmeal cookies for everyone to enjoy. Her voice was filled with harmonies for anyone who stood beside her to sing.

Her favorite and newly remembered old hymn, has become an anthem for our family. Please find this beautiful song on many platforms and listen to the lyrics. This has become her song of remembrance. .

There's a land beyond the river
That we called the sweet forever
And we only reach that shore by faith's degree
One by one we'll gain the purpose
There to dwell with kings immortal
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Don't you hear the bells ringing
Can't you hear the angels singing
Tis the glory hallelujah jubilee
In that chorus sweet forever
Just beyond the shinning river
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
We shall know no sin or sorrow
In that heaven of tomorrow
When our backs shall sail beyond the silvery sea
We shall only know the blessing
Of our fathers sweet caressing
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
When our days shall know their number
When in death we sleep in slumber
When the king commands the spirit to be free
Never more will anguish learn
We shall reach that lovely hill
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
