Yolie was a selfless and dedicated woman who was loved by so many that were blessed to have known her. She was a resilient woman that never quit even through the most difficult of times. She wanted to leave things better than she found them. She loved her family greatly and cared for many more. She dedicated her leisure time to her granddaughter Madalyn. Yolie lived a life of serving others. No words can accurately describe who she was other than through the love and sincerity she showed to everyone. She will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her husband, Blas Perez, her two sons, Blas Esteban Perez and Eric Joel Perez, her siblings, Margarita Garza, Elvira Perez, Roman Gracia Jr., and Omelia Cliver, her grandaughter, Madalyn Perez, and many beloved nieces, nephews, and in-laws.

Yolanda, our Momo (gymnastics family). We spent the last five years sitting in the bleachers watching our Grand Daughters. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, and we cheered our Girls on. We fed cats near ASI gymnastics, we built winter houses for them 😃😃, and dragging Eric into it. We talked about making tamales and you were going to teach me how to make them. The last time I saw you, Lauren, Eric and you dropped Maddy off at my house for her to take a trip with me to see Lilliana. If you weren’t at gymnastics and not at work, you were spending precious time with Lauren and Maddy, and y’all would take Lilliana along at many fun outings making memories. We are so blessed to have know. you, you were a mighty special lady, You will be terribly missed, your loss has been a tough one on me and my family. I prayed for you and your family day in and day out and will continue to do so. My deepest condolences to her entire family. I love you Eric, Lauren and Maddy.
So sorry to hear of her passing. Still remember stopping to talk to You everytime I saw her working in the yard as I drove by. Loved your garage sales, I always stopped to shop and we talked trying to catch up on what our grown kids were doing and how each of us were doing. With this pandemic we missed each other these past 2 years, but I will not forget you. You were a good person, quite, but we could talk for a long time. Beautiful lady, you will be missed. Rest in Peace. Our condolences to the family. Neighborhood friends, Norma & Raul Rios
