Yolanda Serrano 1957-2023
NORTH LIMA — Yolanda Serrano, 66, passed away peacefully Friday, Dec. 8, 2023, after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease. They call it the long goodbye. But that journey becomes even longer when you have not even begun.
Some things in life are imaginable, like the thought of losing someone with so much life left to live, but unfortunately we cannot control the things that happen to us, or to the people that we love.
Anyone who knew Yolanda knew she had the personality to fill a room. She had an overwhelming zest for life. She was passionate, funny, loving.
Her biggest love was her family. She loved her family so much and friends whom she considered family.
Yolanda loved to travel, write, and dream. She wrote journals and took pictures. She liked to gamble, dance, shop, and talk on the phone with friends for hours. She will be missed.
She leaves her daughter, Yvette Laboy; son, Richard (Ricky) Laboy; grandchildren, Jacob, Jaxson and Ella; brothers, George Serrano and Juan Serrano (Margie); sisters, Carmen and Muggy; and mother, Maria Serrano.
The family will receive friends and relatives from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2023, at the Rossi Brothers and Lellio Funeral Home, 4442 South Ave. in Boardman. Words of Remembrance will begin at 6 p.m.
Family and friends are encouraged to offer prayers for the family and support via phone call, text, email or may visit the Book of Memories at www.rossifunerals.com.
