Yvonne was very committed to her church and her relationship with God. She faithfully served as a Deaconess and missionary touching the lives of many through her dedication, compassion, and unwavering faith. Her love for the Lord was an important part of who she was, and she carried that with her throughout her life.

Professionally, Yvonne dedicated more than 40 years of service to the Virginia Department of Taxation. Her commitment, dependability, and years of service reflected the same dedication she showed in every part of her life.

Above all, Yvonne cherished her family. She was a devoted mother and grandmotherwho found joy in spending time with the people she loved. She treasured family gatherings, conversations, and the simple moments shared with those closest to her. In her leisure time, she enjoyed watching her favorite stories, including The Young and the Restless.

Yvonne leaves to cherish her memory her beloved children, Nicole Y. Carver and Rodney Williams (Felicia Williams).

She is also survived by her siblings: James Williams, Frances Inman, Garfield Williams (Blanche Williams), and Jeanette Anne White, who shared a lifetime of memories, love, and family bonds with her.

Yvonne is also survived by her beloved aunt, Lillian Nicholson.

Her grandchildren who will continue to carry her love and legacy include Romari J. Harris, Eric Lee Carver Jr., Erica N. Carver, Tamar Williams, and Brittany J. Carver.

Yvonne was also blessed with nine great-grandchildren, whom she loved dearly. Her love for them was evident in the special place each of them held in her heart. The lessons she taught, the prayers she prayed, the love she gave, and the memories she created will continue to live on through generations to come.

Yvonne's life was a testament to faith, perseverance, family, and love. She gave so much of herself.
