Estella ‘Yaya’ Fernandez, age 59, passed away on December 5, 2021. Yaya was born on January 7, 1962 to Gabriel and Enedina Fernandez. She attended Foy H. Moody High School. Yaya was employed by Floyd’s Restaurant for many years prior to transitioning to the executive chef position at Holiday Inn.
Yaya enjoyed cooking, front porch sitting, cruising to the T-heads and fishing. She will always be remembered for her love of laughter. She was always the life of the party and could put a smile on anyone’s face with her constant jokes! She will also be remembered for her never ending devotion to her family and friends as there was nothing she would not do for those she loved.
Yaya was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Yaya was preceded in death by her parents Gabriel and Enedina Fernandez, infant sister, Maria Isabel Fernandez (Baby Lizzie) and brother, Gabriel Fernandez, Jr. Yaya is survived by her siblings Delia Soliz, Liz ‘Chav’ Fernandez, Grace Espino (Richard), Maro Fernandez, Bale Fernandez (Cyndi), Patricia Breckenridge (Jay) and Sandra Fernandez (Ramon) as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and many honorary nieces and nephews she grew to know, love and care for.
