Yvette Patrice Pawnell peacefully departed this world on February 28th, 2024 at the age of 52 in Houston, TX.

Yvette's life was a testament to her unwavering commitment to her family, friends, work, and community. From an early age, she displayed a sense of compassion and kindness that touched the lives of those around her, which was the beginning of Yvette’s philanthropic and giving heart that we got to know and love so much.

Yvette realized that her giving nature and life extended beyond all her professional endeavors. As such, she became a devoted member of The Church Without Walls (TCWW) in 2000, where she found solace, worshipped, and shared her love and devotion to the Lord.

Yvette's memory will forever be treasured by her surviving family members, including her devoted sisters, Felecia Lara-Vera and Karen Pawnell-Hollis, her beloved brother, Carlos Pawnell Sr., and her cherished nieces, nephews, aunts, uncle, cousins, and best friends.

Remember Yvette as a God fearing and devout Christian with a beautiful smile, infectious likable personality, philanthropic and giving heart to not only want to help those around her but also wanting to make journeys easier for others not around her. Yvette's characteristics and personality will forever inspire us to embrace kindness, dedication, and faith, just as she did throughout her life.

In lieu of flowers, cards, and family contributions, Yvette requested that donations be given to: The Church Without Walls “In Honor of Member Yvette Pawnell” to support the Women’s Cancer Memorial Wall and Support Fund.
