Obituary
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 will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 40 years, Tom, her children, Lisa and Michael and her two grandchildren, Jonathan and Braden. Also her sister Teresa and two brothers, Paul and Larry.
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.

Heartfelt sympathy and much love to you all as you go through this time of grief. Pepper was one of those extraordinary people who will never be forgotten. She exuded the spice of life and her spirit lives within all of us.
May a lifetime of memories give strength to you in the days ahead.
Much love, Jan and Jack

We were so blessed to have known Pepper. She was like a ray of sunshine when she walked into the room, always smiling and making us laugh. She adored her grandchildren and loved sharing stories about them. Tom, you and your entire family are in our prayers.

Pepper, How sad I feel to think you have gone. You were the most vibrant, happy, and hard working person I have even known.
Pepper and I worked many years together and she never tired. She could put it all together all the time..Always with a smile. I am so sorry I was unaware of her struggles and pain.
She loved her family and friends.
Tom, we only met once but please except my prayers and sympathy for your loss and that of your children.
It makes me cry to think she is not with us. But she is probably planning a big party for all of us when we see her again.
