Born April 26, 1925 in Lee County, she was the daughter of the late Lucious Yates and Maggie Lue Butler-Scarborough. She was educated in the public schools of Lee County.

She was affiliated with several neighborhood organizations and spent countless hours serving the community.

She leaves to cherish her memories: her great grandson, Laquan Wilson; adopted sister, Allean Jennings; adopted daughters, Patricia (Edward) Byrd and Mary “Ninny” Giles; stepdaughter, Bessie Rhee Mitchell; grandsons, Nathaniel (Wanda) Pearson and Manzie Lovely; a host of great granddaughters, adopted great grandsons, extended family members, other relatives and friends.
