Yvonne was preceded in death by her husband, Rev. Clinton A. Jordan; daughter, Glenda Jordan Ainsworth; great-grandson, Jonas Reed; parents, Rev. Robert H. & Velma Cox Hearne; sister, Marjorie Hearne Crawford and son-in-law Dave Denton.
Yvonne is survived by her daughters; Ginger Jordan Hagewood (Gene), Donna Jordan Denton; sons, Bob Jordan (Angie), Jay Jordan (Jill); 10 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren.
A lifelong resident of North Louisiana, Yvonne was born on June 27, 1923 in Chatham, LA. As the daughter and wife of Methodist preachers, she lived in many towns across the state, but raised her family in West Monroe. Yvonne was a first grade teacher who taught for many years at Claiborne Elementary, where she was beloved by her students and respected by her peers.
She loved to travel and visited most of the United States and Europe. Yvonne loved music, especially Southern gospel, and rarely missed a concert when she could go. She loved flowers and grew beautiful roses. Later in life Yvonne took up painting. The walls of her loved one’s homes are decorated with many of her original works. Yvonne never lost her childlike wonder for nature. A field of flowers, a sunset, a moonlit sky, were all met with her trademark “wow!”
Most of all, she loved her family, she was happiest surrounded by her children, grandchildren, great and great-great-grandchildren, beaming with love and pride as she listened to the talk and laugh.
