Yates, Anita

August 23, 2025

The world became a little quieter on August 23, 2025, when ANITA ELLA YATES, at the age of 61, passed away at Good Samaritans West Highlands, after a short but courageous battle with cancer.

Anita’s life was filled with love, laughter, and devotion to her family. She leaves behind her three beloved children—Amanda (Corey) Templin, Ashley Yates (Shelley), and Bradley (Tia) Yates—and her four cherished grandchildren: Kashton, Carter, and Kaleb Templin, and Makenna Yates. She also leaves her loving mother, Ella Jauerneck, her loving sister, Angie Materi, her two brothers and all her wonderful nieces and nephews.

Anita will be remembered for her warmth, her humor, and her way of making people feel cared for. She had a special gift for finding joy in the little things and for sharing that joy with others. Most of all, she will be remembered through her children and grandchildren, who carry her love and spirit forward every day.

At Anita’s request, no formal funeral service will be held. Cremation has been entrusted to Cornerstone Funeral Home.
