Yvonne Love Furr, 88, of Concord, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 2, 2025, at The Drake in Concord.
A graveside service to celebrate her life will be held at Miami Baptist Church Cemetery on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, with Pastor Fred Bickford officiating. The family will receive friends prior to the service, from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM, at Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Locust.
Born on January 14, 1937, in Cabarrus County, Yvonne was the daughter of the late Dolph Brown Love and Minnie Elizabeth Miller Love. She was a member of Miami Baptist Church. Yvonne worked for many years at Edgecomb Steel and later retired from Concord Motor Speedway.
Yvonne will be remembered as a vibrant and outgoing woman with a warm personality. A true "people person," she had a gift for conversation and made friends easily wherever she went. Her family lovingly describes her as a “character” and a “social butterfly.” She was known for her strong work ethic, dependability, and dedication as a wife, mother, and grandmother. Yvonne especially enjoyed spending time outdoors tending to her flowers.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Henry Lee Furr, and six siblings.
Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Tony Furr and wife Shannon, and Tim Furr and wife Annette, all of Concord; her brother Donald William Love and sister Rachel Love Furr, both of Concord; three grandchildren, Tony Furr Jr. and wife Jessica, Ross Furr, and Ann-Marie Perhai; and two great-grandchildren.
