Anita Yazzie Vernon
August 1, 1953 ~ October 27, 2021

Anita Yazzie Vernon, 68, passed away on Oct. 27, 2021. She was born on Aug. 1, 1953, in Star Lake, New Mexico, to Charlie Y. and Elsie Toledo.
Anita was a member of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and proud member of the Navajo tribe. She is remembered fondly by her granddaughters with the following kind words:
“Our Grandma was funny, kind and a joker. She is the greatest storyteller we know.  She would always take us to feed the ducks. She was always a party full of laughter, love and good times. She has given us many treasured memories; enough to last us our lifetime. She had the most beautiful soul, laugh and smile. She was the strongest person we knew. Our favorite memory was when she was almost arrested for calling the fire chief a ‘butthair.’ We are so blessed to call her our grandma and to have received all the love she gave us.’’
Anita is survived by her husband Ray L. Vernon; sons Eric Miko (Tasha) Toledo of Albuquerque, NM, Deric Daniel Toledo of Cottonwood, AZ; sisters Emma Y. Toledo of Star Lake, NM, Nina G. (Kenneth) Toledo of Torreon, NM, Nancy T. (LeRoy) Sandoval; brothers Eddie D. (Mary) Toledo of Tonalea, AZ, Ervin Y. Toledo of Kaibeto, AZ, Damon Y. (June) Toledo of Crownpoint, NM, Richard Y, (Christina) Toledo of Albuquerque, NM, Richardson Toledo of Smithfield, UT, Gregory (Rose) Toledo of Brigham City, UT; grandchildren Samiko, Faith, Jeric, Erica, Jazzlynn, Angel and Sasha; one great grandchild; several nieces; nephews; stepchildren and grandchildren; other relatives; and friends. 
She was loved by many and will be missed dearly.
A Visitation was held Oct. 30, followed by a Funeral Service at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Kerrville, Texas. Interment followed at Bandera Cemetery in Bandera.
Services were entrusted to Grimes Bandera Funeral Chapel, 1214 Mulberry, Bandera, Texas 78003.
