Iva Yates dies at 101

Hi Philippians!

Some of you may not know that Iva Yates, our oldest member, died this morning, January 31. She was 101 years old. I regret I didn't know her. What a storehouse of amazing history her memories must have been!

Her home is right on 33 down a little past Lover's Lane and has been converted into a charming museum called the Yates House. You can see pictures of her there in the main room. She was quite beautiful.

If anyone has any memories of Iva, feel free to post them or to call me and tell me about them.

We don't have a firm time for the funeral, but we know it will be on Saturday, with a reception following at the church. Watch the Sentinel for the obituary.

Peace to all from Pastor Mike
