Yolanda Wynette "Lon" Cormier was born on December 4, 1972, to the late Virgie Batiste and Leonard Colomb I. She was a beloved mother, sister, aunt, and friend whose presence brought warmth and joy to those fortunate enough to know her.

Yolanda found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved reading, working puzzles, watching British television shows, and, most importantly, spending cherished time with her family. She will forever be remembered for her infectious smile, kind heart, resilience, and strength. Above all, she will be remembered for the unconditional love she had for her children, who were the center of her world.

A proud graduate of St. Martinville Senior High School, Yolanda completed her studies in 1990. She continued her education at Remington College, where she earned an Associate of Science degree in Business in 1997. At the time of her passing, she was employed with UNO/LSU and contracted with the Louisiana Department of Health in Long-Term Care Medicaid.

On July 11, 1992, Yolanda dedicated her life to Jehovah and remained a faithful member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in St. Martinville, Louisiana. Within her congregation, she will be remembered for her determination to walk in the truth and remain steadfast in her faith, regardless of the obstacles she encountered.

Yolanda leaves to cherish her precious memories her daughter, Mackenzie Cormier (Roshad Richard) of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; her son, Desmond Soileau of Lafayette, Louisiana; and her siblings, Tessie Savoy of Parks, Louisiana; Angela (Kevin) Morris of Pearland, Texas; Felicia Anderson of Lafayette, Louisiana; Leonard (Carol) Colomb II of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana; Ross (Laura) Colomb of Haymarket, Virginia; and Leslie (Christopher) Walker of Broussard, Louisiana.

She also leaves to cherish her memory the father of her son, Gerald Soileau of Lafayette, Louisiana, along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever hold her close in their hearts.

Yolanda was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Virgie Batiste and Leonard Colomb I; her maternal grandparents, Morris Charles and the former Lillian Phillips; and her paternal grandparents, Octave Colomb and the former Eleanor Brown.

Honorary Pallbearers are, Taurean Savoy, Breylon Anderson, Christopher Walker Jr., Isaac Walker, Jalen Joseph, Aston Colomb-Colons, Knox Savoy, and Jaxson Joseph.

Though Yolanda will be missed, the love she shared, the lives she touched, and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Her smile, strength, kindness, and unwavering devotion to her family and faith will never be forgotten.

Forever loved. Forever remembered.
