Yemanya B. Jammerson, 35, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Thursday, January 1, 2009, after courageously battling several health conditions.

Yemanya was born in Kenosha on October 11, 1973, to Isaiah and Mary Louise (nee: Hubbard) Jammerson. A 1991 graduate of Tremper High School, she went on to earn a Psychology degree from University of Wisconsin – Parkside in 1999. Shortly after, Yemanya became an enthusiastic activities director of the Becker-Shoop Center, a skilled care facility that is mainly for those stricken with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. When her health began to fail in 2002, she sadly decided to retire.

Surviving are her broken-hearted daughter, Jacqueline Jammerson; treasured grandson, Jaiciadh Hunter-Barker; father, Isaiah Jammerson; brother, Terence Jammerson, Sr.; second mom and dad, Roberta and Paul Baumeister; other brothers, Howard, Rob and David Baumeister; like-a-sister, Chasitiy Whittemore; nieces and nephews, Dynasty, Decamren, Terence Jr. and Tianna Jammerson; god-daughter, Felicia Bolton; and a host of other dear relatives and friends too numerous to mention by name. Yemanya was preceded in death by her mother, Mary Louise Jammerson.

Funeral services will be held in the funeral home on Saturday, January 10, 2008 at 3 p.m. Visitation will be on Saturday from 2-3 p.m. In accordance with Yemanya’s wishes, cremation will follow the services. In memory of Yemanya, memorials can be made to the family.

Yemanya you will be missed. I went to college with her and while I would not say I was a friend I did know several of her roommates very well. You will be missed and may you rest in peace.

I am so very sorry to the family of Yemanya. I have thought about you so many times through the years you were an amazing room mate and although I knew you for so little I always hold you in my heart.
