New Jersey - Mrs. Yvonne West, 92 formerly of Duplin Co. answered the Master's call on Thursday, May 2, 2024.
Born in Duplin Co., she is the daughter of the late Gaston Branch Sr. and Minnie Smith Branch.
Yvonne was a very compassionate, loving and forth-right woman. She was also a "Spit Fire", but in a lovingly way. Her greatest accomplishment was her family and her ability to love those in need. She fostered many unfortunate children and raised them as her own for more than 2 decades.
As an Eastern Star, she traveled the United States from coast to coast and north to south, enhancing the lives of many women and children. Her final travel has reunited her with her parents, husband -James, son - Levon, daughter - Virginia and her siblings, Minnie Clark, Carrie Watson, Etta Quinn, Pearlie Kornegay, Leslie Branch Sr., Gaston Branch Jr., Vertie Loftin, Gertrude Branch, Miriam Houston and Doris Bizzell.
Loving memories will liner in the hearts of her children, James West Jr., Cynthia, Robert, Gastaletha and Candance; 17 Grand, 25 Great-Grand and 7 Great-Great Grand. She also leaves to mourn a host of many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
