Anna Pearline Yates Mason

Mrs. Anna Pearline Yates Mason was born February 25, 1931, in Savoyard, Kentucky, Metcalfe County to Annie Brewer and John Yates. She retired from Riley Hospital after 42 years of service. 

Pearline, as she was known to family and close friends, professed hope in Christ and gave her life to him at an early age, joining Old Blue Springs Baptist Church.

Pearline was united in holy matrimony to James Mason, and to this union three children were born. Throughout her life one thing remained constant, and that was her love of God. She was a member of New Garfield Baptist Church for over fifty years, serving on the Nurse’s Group, choir, helping in the Pantry Group, and the Missionary Circle.

Yates; two sisters, Arneva Hendrickson and Orene Walker; and five brothers-in-law, Robert Miller, Joe Mason, Walter Mason, George Mason, and Vester Mason.

She loves to cherish her memories of her children; daughters, Wanda (James) Tyler and Annie Johnson; daughter-in-law, Dee; and four grandchildren, Tyi Johnson, Dennis Hassan Ahmad, Bobby Johnson, and Wayne Johnson. Three sisters, Naomi Mills, Veachel Hendrickson, and Emmerline (Bernard) Hardin also survive.
