YARMOLA, Nancy Ilene Yarmola
June 2, 1950 - May 14, 2025
It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved Mother, who left us far too soon on Wednesday May 14th, 2025, at the age of 74.
Nancy lived her life with an unmistakable zest, a spark that drew people to her and made every moment in her presence feel full of possibility and joy. Her laughter was contagious, her energy unstoppable, and her love—deep, fierce, and unconditional.
More than anything in the world, she loved her children, grandchildren, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law. They were the center of her universe, her greatest pride, and the constant source of her strength. To be her child was to know what it meant to be truly cherished.
A devoted sister, Nancy adored her four siblings and spoke of them often with admiration and affection. Their bond was unshakable—a lifelong source of joy, memories, and deep connection.
She was also a friend to so many—an open heart and listening ear, always ready with a smile, a story, or a kind word. Whether you knew her for decades or had just met her, Nancy made you feel seen, heard, and valued.
Tragically, Nancy had only just begun to grieve the loss of her own mother, whose passing left a tender ache in her heart. The pain of that loss was softened by her memories and the strength she found in her family, even as her own journey came to an end far too soon.
She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and loyalty one that will live on in her children, her grandchildren, her siblings, her friends, and all those lucky enough to have been loved by her.
A celebration of Nancy’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor her memory by living life with the same passion and generosity she embodied every day.
She was our light. And though the world feels dimmer without her, we carry her in every heartbeat. Rest peacefully, dearest Mother. We will love you forever.
