Yvonne McGee Montgomery, 77, passed away peacefully into eternal life on November 9, 2015, at Hospice-Solace Center in Asheville, NC.
Ms. Montgomery was born in Meridian, Mississippi on September 6, 1938. Yvonne is survived by three sons, Chris D. Montgomery and wife Pam, of Waynesville; Scott N. Montgomery and wife Susi, of Asheville; Doug R. Montgomery, and wife Denise, of Asheville, and one daughter, Deborah Montgomery Presnell, and husband, Alan, of Black Mountain. She was also blessed with eleven grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and many cousins, nieces and nephews throughout the country.
Ms. Montgomery worked as the activities director for Highland Farms Retirement center until she retired. She loved her church at First Baptist, Swannanoa, and had many friends there. Her passions included gardening, healthy eating, playing the piano, loving on her three cats, and researching family history and medical advances via Google. But her best passion was reading her Bible, interceding for others as a prayer warrior and daily praising God.
The family wishes to express gratitude to the caregivers at Hospice-Solace, 8th floor St. Joseph's Hospital, Meals-on-Wheels volunteers, care partners, and Blue Ridge Pharmacy.
A Celebration of Life will be held at First Baptist, Swannanoa, on November 15.
He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things have passed away ‘. Revelation 21 : 4
Yvonne was my mother’s sister! I did not know her very well but mother spoke extremely highly of her and treasured their correspondence. I recently ran across the obituary and wanted to add my information. My mother was Annabelle Jackie McGee. And I am Suja Pritchard, her daughter.
