Mrs. Yulanda R. McClure, age 73, of Vermontville went to be with her Lord, on Monday, August 3rd, 2015 at Sparrow Hospital, Lansing, MI.

Yulanda was born in Huntington, WV on August 16, 1941, the daughter of Charles M. and Juanita G. (Barrett) Lucas. She was raised in Huntington West Virginia where she attended local schools graduating from Huntington East High School in 1959. In 1993 Yulanda received her associates degree, and then in 1995 she earned her Bachelors degree from Cornerstone College.

Yulanda married her high school sweetheart Mr. Bobby McClure on November 19, 1960. They began their lives together in West Virginia, but in 1967 moved to the Vermontville area where they raised their family. Yulanda & Bobby enjoyed their retirement and spent their time traveling. Throughout the years, the couple has participated in mission trips to Bolivia and Honduras, toured the castles in England, kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland, and visited family and friends all over the United States. Yulanda was not a person who sat on the sidelines! Despite not liking water, she has been white water rafting, water skiing, the family pool was one of her favorite places during the summer, because it brought her family together giving her the opportunity to spoil her grandchildren.

Yulanda loved her church, and loved serving in whatever capacity she could. She has been a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Charlotte for the past 10 years and throughout the years, she has served the church in many different capacities. She has been the head of the Ladies Ministry Committee where she would work funeral luncheons, and would visit and call on people from the church. While serving on the Missionary committee she participated in in Mission trips to Bolivia and Honduras. Yulanda loved to visit people, and this gave her a great opportunity to use her baking skills, as she would always bring something she had made to share.

Yulanda is survived by her beloved husband Bobby, daughter Cheryl (Jason) Sheridan, Michelle (Tim) Vandegriff, nephew Greg Smith. Grandchildren Yulanda & Garnet Sheridan, Autumn, Allena & Nathaniel Vandegriff, Scott Scherer, her mother Juanita Lucas, sister Brenda Cremeans and several nieces and nephews.
