Mr. Yoder passed away many years ago. His name was Jerry and Mrs. Yoder never even thought of marrying anyone else after his passing. She kept his keychain with her always.
Mrs. Yoder was a truly loving person. Love oozed out of her eyes when she spoke to you. She would go the extra mile for anyone on that farm. I truly believe God kept her there for so many years to be a true light in the midst of all that chaos that became the roloff enterprise.
I loved her dearly. She once told me (out of earshot from the other girls) that I was her special girl. She looked in my eyes and said, "you know that, right?" I nodded. I did know. Last I heard about her was about two years ago. One of my friends, who lived in Corpus Christi, would visit her and one day she asked her if she remembered me. My friend says she didn't even get to my last name, Mrs Yoder's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, of course I remember her!" My friend and I planned for me to come visit and we would go see her, but it never happened. I hope she is receiving the reward she deserves in heaven.
