Memorial services for Yvette Ann Williams of Albert Lea will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at Trinity Lutheran Church in Albert Lea. The Rev. Eileen Woyen will officiate. Friends may greet the family one hour prior to the service at the church.

Yvette died Saturday, March 23, 2019, at Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea after a short fight with cancer. She was 49.

Yvette was born Sept. 5, 1969, in Albert Lea, the daughter of James and Verlaine (Anderson) Williams. She graduated from Rochester John Marshall High School. Yvette lived and worked in Rochester, Owatonna and Albert Lea for the past two years, where she was employed by Green Mill Restaurant and Bar and Applebee’s.

She loved spending time with family and friends — in particular with her grandmother, Lettie Ann, and chowing her uncle Carl’s cheeseburgers on the grill, listening to music — her favorite song was “YMCA,” dancing and living in her joy.

Yvette is survived by her mother, Verlaine, of Albert Lea; grandmother, Lettie Ann Anderson, of Albert Lea; uncles Carl (Nancy) Anderson of Clarks Grove and Eric Anderson of Minneapolis; and cousins Nyla and her daughter, Camae Anderson, and Kyle (Heidi) and their son, Trey Anderson.

She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Lyle “PaPa” Anderson.

She will be greatly missed by her loving family and friends.
