Obituary of Lucy Christine Yardley

Lucy Christine Yardley, 25, of Howell, NJ passed away unexpectedly on Friday, February 21, 2020. She was born in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and had lived in Georgetown Ontario before moving to Mount Olive, NJ with her family when she was 6. Lucy spent many happy years in Mount Olive enjoying life, playing soccer, snowboarding, and going to the Jersey shore with her friends. Photography and art were some of Lucy’s hobbies from a young age, along with music and attending the concerts of her favorite artists. She also loved returning to Canada to spend time at the family cottage at Barrow Bay on the Bruce Peninsula where she liked to swim in the bay and fish in the lake. We would like to remember Lucy for her caring and sensitive disposition, her beautiful “million dollar smile,” and her ability to make friends everywhere she went.

Lucy was predeceased by her maternal grandparents, and her paternal grandfather. She is survived by her parents, Christopher and Leigh Yardley of Bradenton, Florida; sister, Hannah Yardley of Toronto, Ontario, Canada; brother, Sean Yardley of Guelph, Ontario Canada; and her paternal grandmother, Rose Yardley of Dorchester, England. Also survived by multiple loving uncles, aunts, and cousins located in Canada, United Kingdom and China. She will also be missed by the many loving friends she made on her journey through life.

All local arrangements were private and under the direction of the Clayton & McGirr Funeral Home, Freehold Township. Lucy’s ashes will be returned to Barrow Bay, Canada for her final resting place. A celebration of her life will also be arranged for later this year. Memorial contributions in Lucy’s name may be made for addiction rehabilitation programs at CFC Loud and Clear Foundation, 260 Casino Drive, Farmingdale, NJ 07727 healingus.org and/or caron.org.
