Yerke, Carol ‘Pepper’
It is with great sadness that the family of Pepper Yerke announces her passing after a long battle of lung cancer, on Friday, February 22, 2008.

Pepper was a very loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was an avid world traveler, her passion was her family, friends, cooking and entertaining those she loved. She was gifted with an unending supply of kindness, grace and a wonderful sense of humor. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Mom, thank you, thank God for you, the wind beneath our wings.
A memorial service will be held Saturday March 1st at 2pm, Saint George’s Episcopal Church, 23802 Avenida de la Carlota, Laguna Hills, CA. 92653. 949 837-4530.

40 years of memories….where do I start. Pepper was my best friend, someone I could always depend on in good times and bad. We always had laughter and love with us. She had an amazing way of making everyone she met feel special and important. Pep, we will meet again so save that rocking chair next to you and keep the wine chilled. I love you…..J

Pepper was EVERYTHING that was written about her. I worked as a Travel Director with her and she was the definition of FUN! She was always a ray of sunshine and always dressed in fabulous shoes! In her absence, there will be a hole where her smile and genuineness once filled the air. I pray I will see her on the other side. I was blessed to have known her.

Pepper was part of our family. We had lots of laughs and incredible memories of the holidays, food & wine and all her visits here in Aspen. We will miss her and truly believe she is in heaven looking over all of us…and probably reorganizing heaven with itineraries, caviar, and champagne.
Miss you and love you Peach.
