Elsie Yeary, 77, of Middlesboro, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, Dec. 29th. She was a quiet, sweet, caring and beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She worked at the Pineville Hospital for 38 years and has missed everyone since retirement.

She was preceded in death by husband, Andrew Yeary; parents, James and Hallie Guy; brothers, Dewey, Eulis, Charlie and sister Trecie, all of Monroe, Michigan; and grandson, Seth Yeary.

She is survived by sons, Bob and Bill Yeary and daughter, Betty Roper; grandsons, Bobby and Shadd Yeary; granddaughters, Felicia Yeary, Lori Haley and Misty Roper; 7 great-grandchildren; brothers, Jim, Larry, Richard, Glen and Roy Guy and sisters, Edna, Fay and Aileen.
