Shirley Jean Yoss, 88, was not only the love of her husband’s
life, but she was his best friend and vice versa. Married 69 years and hoping for more, Shirley passed away
peacefully at her home on April 6, 2015.
She was surrounded by family and loved ones while her beautiful soul
slipped away.
She was born in Seattle, Washington, and was the only child of
Francis and Alice Everett. They moved
to Lynwood, California, where she spent her youth and met her husband, 1st Lt.
Leland Yoss of the Army Air Corps. They
married November 21, 1946, and moved to Ohio while her husband finished college
at Ohio State.
They returned to southern California where Lee started his
business and Shirley became the most wonderful wife and the best mother of five
children that a child could have.
Living in Rolling Hills, Shirley became a volunteer at Rancho Las Amigas
to help children with disabilities. She
was secretary/treasurer for the Republican Ladies Club in Rolling Hills. When her children were grown, they had a
second home in Palm Desert, California and loved it so much that they decided
to live at the Vintage Club. She
enjoyed golf and socializing. They
eventually left there and retired in Monterra and joined Ironwood Country Club,
where she helped to start the Ironwood Ladies Golf Group. She and Lee spent a lot of their time
socializing there. Her husband Lee,
belongs to the Crocodile Card Club where Shirley and the wives spent time
enjoying trips, dinners and functions.
She enjoyed all her friends, her family and each other. She will truly be missed.
Shirley is survived by her
spouse, Leland; her two daughters and their husbands, Denise and John Freitag,
and Lori and Jeff Demorest.
Her three loving sons, Barry, David, and Mark, had passed
before her.
She is also survived by her
grandchildren Darren, Ryan, and Derek Yoss, Doniell and her husband Wes Stiner,
and Michael and Elise Yoss; and her great-grandchildren, Ava, Jacob, Madison
and Hannah; and her great-grandsons Noah, and Charlie who reside in Sweden.
Shirley will certainly be missed as she left a mark of love and
devotion to all who knew her.
Funeral services were held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in
Cathedral City, California on April 18, 2015.
