She was a member of the LDS Church, and served by doing genealogy work. She enjoyed some of the same things her mother had loved to do like gardening and making beautiful quilts for her family. As a child Cleo loved the times when the family went to Yellowstone Park camping and caught fish off of Fishing Bridge. She was preceded in death by her parents, Nathan and Elda, older brother Brice Orley Yancey, older sister Lydean Yancey Garretson, and Clair Nathan Yancey who died shortly after birth.
Cleo was struck early in life with Alzheimer’s Disease and had lost most of her hearing. She had difficulty writing or speaking and a loss of orientation to place`s and people. Over the years of living with this dreadful disease and only when the fog lifted, was she able to truly show her love and affection for her family and friends. Cleo also believed that angels lived among us.
Cleo`s viewing will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. with a graveside service at 12:00 noon on Thursday, August 16, 2018 at Larkin Sunset Gardens 1950 East Dimple Dell Road )10600 South). Sandy, Utah.
For Mom:
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God has chosen for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
to laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I’ve now found peace at the end of day.
If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life’s been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
don’t lengthen your pain with undo grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now — He set me free
