Inez Yarbough

Inez (Randolph) Yarbough was born on April 2, 1936, to Peccolia Moon Randolph and Fletcher Randolph Sr., both who preceded her in death. She was the oldest of nine children born to this family. She had two sisters and two brothers that preceded her in death: Geneva Hawkins, Alice Williams, Fletcher Randolph Jr., and James Randolph, respectively. Proverbs 13:22 states a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children. Momma Nez, as she is affectionately known, encouraged us to cherish and love one another as she loved us and demonstrated so beautifully and unconditionally during her life on earth. We will miss her infectious laughter and cling firmly to the Godly wisdom that she taught us on numerous occasions. One of the most important Godly nuggets she taught us is that whenever you have a problem, you need to always pray because God is the only one that can and will fix it, whatever it is! All who know Momma Nez, know she loved attending church and held membership with several congregations as she journeyed with God. She was known as a faithful member at the New Mission Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she was a part of the New Mission Baptist Church Senior Society and New Membership Ministries. She was also a faithful member of Christ the King Church in Dacula, Georgia until her health began to issue its challenges. Momma Nez matriculated and graduated from Central State University, located in Wilberforce, Ohio, in 1982 with her bachelor's degree in Social Work and she then went on to pursue and obtain her master's degree in Clinical Social Work from the Clark Atlanta University in 1984, Atlanta, Georgia. As a result of her passion and love for serving people, she was a long-standing member of the NAACP, Heritage Society CTK and the American Dental Assistant Association for 15 years. She was an excellent bowler and received many trophies, but her ultimate favorite pastime was spending time with her family. She instilled the importance of family in her children and grandchildren. She was a very affectionate woman of God who always greeted everyone with a hug and a smile. She never knew a stranger; she accepted and loved everyone she met. She will always be remembered for her zest and passion for life and for her love of people. Her wisdom has been passed down to her children and grandchildren, so her legacy will continue to live on for generations to come. She was our living day epitome of a true Proverbs 31 Virtuous woman of God! She leaves to cherish her memory three children: Joan (Yarbough) Daniels, Janet Yarbough and Jerrel Yarbough; Goddaughter: Vanessa Williams; six grandsons; Clifford Daniels, Elliot Yarbough, Anthony Yarbough, David, Thomas, Justin Bell, and Myles Yarbough; and adopted granddaughter, Shanté Morrow-Stephens. Two of her grandchildren, Antoinette Daniels, and Antonio Daniels, proceeded her in death. She was blessed with ten great-grandchildren and seven great, great-grandchildren. She also leaves to cherish her memory four sisters: Christine Rucker, Ann Brown, Lois Abercrombie and Cynthia Randolph; two aunts: Ruby Nell Gladney and Lucille Law; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, Central State University and Clark Atlanta University students and a very special friend, Mr. Fitzgerald Harvey.
