Mrs Elizabeth Lenora Yager's Obituary
Elizabeth Lenora (Clark) Yager, age 78, of Grand Haven, passed away on Sunday, August 6, 2017. Elizabeth was born on February 25, 1939 to John and Lenora (Watson) Clark. Liz married Arthur Yager Jr. on February 27, 1957 in Grand Haven. Together they were blessed with three children, Steve, Richard and Suzanne. Liz enjoyed fishing, reading, and spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. When asked how she wanted to be remembered, she asked that we say that she loved her family dearly, that she made her children and grandchildren happy, and that she was never mean to anyone. Liz always had a smile on her face when family and friends walked through the door, and she also hoped that when you think of her you remember to smile and laugh about the good times you had with her. Liz is survived by her children, Steve Sr. (Kimberly) Yager, Richard Yager Sr., and Suzanne Austin; grandchildren Amanda (Adam) Shepard, Steve Yager Jr, Richard Jr. (Erika) Yager, Robert (Sarah) Strong, Kerri Allen, Rodney Allen, Jr., and Cassie Austin, her 9 great grandchildren and soon to be 10th; sisters BillieAnn (Daniel) Gimborys, Georgia (Oscar) Fournier, and Mary Douglas, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Liz was preceded in death by her husband Arthur Yager in 2011, her parents, and 2 grandchildren; Timothy Allen and Adam Yager. A private family service will be held at a later date.
