She was preceded in death by brothers Neal Penchion Jr. and Freddie “Frog” Penchion.

Yvette had a smile that lit up every room she entered. She never met a stranger and treated everyone she met with love. She made people feel important and she let them know that they mattered. Family was everything to her and she showed it. She was always there for her family and helped them celebrate their high points and provided comfort and care through their low points. She had a special relationship with her nieces and nephews, and she wanted each of them to know that she loved them all so much. We have been blessed to hear and read the loving memories that so many people have shared with us about her. Deborah Yvette was a wonderful teacher but one of the greatest lessons she taught us that when you make mistakes you made amends. She taught us about God’s grace and mercy, a grace that she taught us to be thankful for every day. Nothing about losing her has been easy but we find comfort in knowing that she is rejoicing with our Lord and that there is no more pain. We will miss her, love and honor her and will joyously await the day that we are united with her again.
