Elisabeth “Libby” Yates, 35, of Columbia passed away on Tuesday, July 14, 2020.  Born in Dallas, Texas, she was the daughter of Kenneth and Pamela Yates. 
 
Elisabeth is survived by her parents; twin sister, Amy Yates; sisters, Kathryn Wright (Dewey) and Emily Connor (Matt); uncles and aunts, Glenn Yates (Doris), Jeffrey Yates (Jennifer), Lorena Naillieux (Steve); nephews, Yates and Kelly Connor; and numerous cousins, cousins-in-law, her church family, and countless who felt like her family.

Elisabeth was an inspiration to many in the way she lived her life. Although she was beset by many physical difficulties, she had a great attitude and loved the Lord. She longed for the day when she would see Him face to face. While those who knew her will miss her, they rejoice she is with her Savior and walking with Him.
