Yvonne V. Anthony


Sunrise: August 27, 1959

Sunset: December 30, 2024

Yvonne V. Anthony was born on August 27, 1959, in Norfolk VA to the late Cora L. Williams and Eugene Williams. Yvonne is affectionately known by family and friends as “Pumkin.” Entered enteral rest on Monday, December 30, 2024, in Virginia Beach, VA.

Yvonne was educated at Norfolk Public Schools. She was employed for years with Norfolk State University, to later retire with BAE SYSTEMS as a class A Painter, and never missed a day. In her retirement, she devoted her time to her children and grandchildren.

She leaves to cherish her precious memories her two amazing daughters: Diamond Parker of Norfolk, VA, and Monique Fleming (Marlon) of Virginia Beach, VA; five sisters, Lessie Askew, Evangelist Sheron Willoughby, Phyllis Washington (Isaac), Janet LaBang all of Norfolk, VA and Tracy Nichols of Hopewell, VA; one brother, Eugene Williams of Virginia Beach, VA; ten grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Yvonne was a lover of life and family; she was so proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and there was nothing she would not do for them. She was a giver from the heart. She was a member of the Center of Love Church of God in Christ and would often invite anyone who would listen to come hear her Pastor, Robert A. Laury, preach. She would say, “That’s a Preaching Man.” Yvonne’s strength & faith in God were undeterred, which helped her to continue her fight without any complaints, her daughters would refer to her as “Built Ford Tuff.”

Yvonne enjoyed having fun, dancing, and joking around, she would enter the room with her loud positive boost of energy often saying “Hey Boo” which was her famous unique greeting. To have known her is to love her. A host of nieces, nephews, cousins, family, and friends will deeply miss her. We will continue to be Williams Strong.
