She is survived by her soul mate Petty Officer Second Class Devin Hendricks, Kings Bay, Georgia; her mother Stephanie Moody Yontz, Jacksonville, Florida; her father and stepmother Scott and Kim Yontz, Canton, Georgia; her half brother and sister in law Taylor and Katherine Yontz, nephews Kalvin and Kane, Murrieta, California; her aunt Jennifer Moody and cousin Henry Moody, Jacksonville, Florida; her grandmother Kathy Moody, Jacksonville, Florida; her step grandmother Gail Moody, Blackshear, Georgia: her god-daughter Symphony Luz Pumarejo, Jacksonville, Florida, and many cousins, aunts, uncles and extended family whom she loved dearly.
