She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; a son, Jimmy Yoder; two brothers, Harold and Ora Eash and three sisters, infants, Ruby and Mary Louise Eash and Kathleen Crawford.

Mabel was a loving mother, grandmother and friend to many.  She enjoyed embroidering, jig saw puzzles, playing games and visiting with family and her many friends.  She lived a life of service, caring for her son James and her mother and father.  She taught us a lot about being a caring and compassionate person, and how important God, family and friends are.  She was a member of Christian Fellowship Church.

The family would like to thank her friends from Christian Fellowship Church, Clearview Church, Greencroft and many others who took the time to visit, pray, bring food, bring flowers, sing and just spend time with Mom these past two years.  You all meant so much to her.  Also, we would like to thank the hospice nurses, social worker, chaplain, Greencroft Healthcare staff and all the other volunteers who helped these last several months.  We just can’t thank you enough.

Friends may call Sunday, July 17, 2016 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Yoder-Culp Funeral Home.  Friends may also call one hour prior to the 11 a.m. funeral service on Monday, July 18, 2016, at Christian Fellowship Church, 15510 C.R. 22, Middlebury.  Pastor Craig Garber will officiate.
