Yvette Jenkins Smith passed away on Friday, May 29th, 2015, surrounded by family and friends, at St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington, LA.  She was 79 years old.

Great grandchildren, Connor Fauntleroy, Corinne Stein, Hunter Sharp, Ciara Fauntleroy, Cadence Sharp, Jasmine Adams, Brett Adams, and Lonnie Adams.

Yvette lived most of her adult life in Bush, LA.  She enjoyed the simple things in life.  She said what she meant and meant what she said.  She was a talented seamstress who could take a blank piece of cloth and work magic with it.  She donated her talents to the churches making just the right costume for Easter and Christmas plays.  She was indeed a blessing and will be greatly missed.  She loved her family and we must admit she loved her bingo.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Service in the Chapel of Bagnell & Son Funeral Home, 75212 Lee Road, Covington, LA 70435 on Tuesday, June 2, 2015 at 2:00 pm.   Visitation from 12:00 pm until service time.
