Yvette was deeply loved by her family and many friends in Deming and elsewhere, as well as on Facebook and will be missed each and every day. Her unexpected passing has been a shock to many though she was diabetic for many years. Yvette was a Messianic Jew and had an amazing and deep faith, she spent many, many hours studying her Bible and knew it well. Those who love her are comforted in the assurance that she is resting peacefully in the arms of her beloved savior, Joshua (Jesus) Yvette had a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NMSU and was a talented and prolific artist and photographer. She began drawing at an early age and her hands were amazing. Perhaps watercolor was her best art form, as she could produce fantastic works in just hours. We know that we all go in Joshua’s time and we were not ready for her to go and her passing has left a hole in our hearts.
