Joan Patricia ‘Pat’
(Remillard) Yenney
Walla Walla
June 11, 1930-March 17, 2017
Joan Patricia Yenney
passed away on March
17, 2017, at Providence
Hospital. She was 86 years
old, but ever youthful and
exuberant. A Celebration of
Life will be held on Friday,
March 24th at Blue Moun-
tain Community Church at
3:00 with a private family
graveside service
Saturday, March
25. A rosary service
will be held at the
Herring-Grose-
close
Funeral
Home on Thursday
evening at 6:00.
At her family’s
request, those who
can attend the
memorial service
are asked to wear Yenney
bright
colors,
bring a story, a picture, a
poem, a joke or a song,
and be prepared for a grand
celebration as we honor this
remarkable woman.
In lieu of flowers, memo-
rial contributions for Seattle
Children’s Hospital or
Hospice can be given in her
name to the Herring-Grose-
close Funeral Home, 315
Alder Street in Walla Walla.
Patricia was born June
11, 1930, in Walla Walla to
Georgia Meiners Remillard
and Alfred Remillard. She
and her parents lived in
numerous
communities
throughout the Walla Walla
Valley as her dad worked
for various wheat ranches.
Her grandparents, Philip
and Eleona Bergevin Remi-
llard, farmed and were part
of the Frenchtown commu-
nity. The Meiners family
were early homesteaders
who farmed in the Dixie
foothills.
She was raised to love
horses, and was a talented
horsewoman. Her first
paying job was ponying race
horses at the fairgrounds.
She attended area schools
from Adams to Walla Walla.
She met Alan Taylor
Yenney at Wa-Hi over a
conversation about a good
horse she had ridden. They
married at the Yenney
family home on April 23,
1951, on Russell Creek
and lived a life surrounded
by dogs, horses, cattle and
goats as Alan worked with
the Frazier family.
A gifted musician, Pat
played piano by ear, and
could play any song you
could hum. Her favorite
times involved story telling,
playing cards, singing songs
and family and friends
around the table.
Patricia had a unique
education, a very busy mind,
and a thirst for learning all
of her days. She loved to
have deep conversations
about the twists and turns
of life. From her colorful,
kaleidoscope quilts to
her notebooks filled with
stories, she brought joy in
what she did. She was a
prolific writer, encouraging
that gift in her offspring. She
absolutely enjoyed people,
was a shameless flirt, and
no one was a stranger. She
infused her love of life and
joy of living into all she
did. Her wonderful sense of
humor, silliness and posi-
tive outlook sustained all
who knew her. She was one
of a kind in every way. She
was the center of her family,
and we who loved her will
miss her spirit, but we know
that she would want each
of us to continue
to carry her torch
which burned so
brightly.
As she embarks
on her new adven-
ture, she leaves
behind friends too
numerous to count,
and a large family,
as
well.
Her
legacy
includes
daughters Susan
Scott
(Claude),
Ann Caulk and Sara Erwin
(Steven), all of Walla Walla;
brothers Pierre Remillard
(Sue) of Walla Walla and
Jack Remillard (Sharon) of
Pendleton; sisters-in-law
Ellen Brewer of Pullman,
Merilyn Ohlson (Gene) of
Greenbank, and Claudine
Remillard and Debbie
Remillard of Walla Walla.
She is also survived by
eight grandchildren: Kate
Engler, Maggie Youd,
Jim Caulk, Emily Caulk,
Sam Erwin, Joe Erwin,
Allison
Flabetich
and
Holly Reynolds. She had
grandmotherly ties with her
nieces and nephews Mike
Remillard, Joelle Bray,
Tanner Remillard, Jenni
Remillard, Mia Murray
and Aaron Greene-Morse.
She delighted in her eight
great-grandchildren:
Ian
and Jonah Engler, Will and
Aubrey Youd, Jude and
Lincoln Erwin, Isley Erwin,
and Evelyn Flabetich.
She was preceded in
death by her parents, brother
Mike Remillard, ex-hus-
band Alan Yenney, son
Bobby, infant son Davey
and infant great-grand-
daughter Laura Erwin.
