Lila Anne Yates' Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ms. Lila Anne Yates on October 31st, 2023, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Lila was born on December 22nd, 1930, in Nashville to Herbert Caldwell Crump and Bertie Lucille Jones Crump. She spent her childhood and young adulthood in Nashville and was a proud graduate of North High School. She was awarded the prestigious DAR Medal of Honor. In her working years, Lila spent the majority of her career in banking for First American National Bank. When not hard at work, she doted on her family and spent many an afternoon cooking delicious meals. Her home was the gathering place for family and friends. She was a gracious host with a heart of gold and a helping hand. Her generosity and caring spirit will be missed by those who knew and loved her.
Lila is preceded in death by her parents Herbert and Lucille, brother Don Crump, and son Chip Yates. Left to cherish her memory are her daughters Carla Sartin and Kim Yates (Bart Demeio); daughter-in-law Jackie Yates; sister-in-law Judy Crump; grandchildren Dusty Yates (Miranda); Chantel Loveless (Brad); Ashley Norton (Nick); and Kyle Demeio; seven great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and a host of extended family and dear friends.
The family cordially invites guests and relatives for a time of remembrance and visitation on Friday, December 1st, 2023, from twelve o'clock in the afternoon until three o'clock in the afternoon.
Final arrangements for Ms. Yates are entrusted to Spring Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery, “Where Nashville Comes to Remember.”
