Yolanda Jo Spano, 65, passed away peacefully at her home in North Salt Lake on Saturday, May 12th, with her children at her side after a courageous battle with cancer.
Yolanda was preceded in death by her parents Pete and Youla Spano and her brother Pete Spano, II of Chattaroy, WV.
Yolanda was born and raised in Williamson, WV where she was a 1970 graduate of Williamson High School.  Yolanda earned her Bachelors Degree in Marketing from Marshall University.  She was a programmer for Thiokol for many years.

She was a faithful member of the LDS church, and a strong member of her community, where she graced many with her southern hospitality and sweet, loving spirit. Yolanda lived a rich life full of travel, laughter, and love of family and friends.
