Yolanda Elaine was born September 14, 1961, in Crane, Texas, the daughter of Rio Dean and Margaret Elizabeth (Perkins) Bruno. Yolanda grew up in food service, helping her parents from the age of 12 at their restaurant. She continued this love of serving people throughout her life. She worked a wide variety of occupations and was not afraid to try anything. She was currently managing the Solon American Legion, a job she truly loved and enjoyed. Yolanda married Scott Rozinek on June 9, 2006, in Morse. Together they bought a hobby farm near Tipton where they raised many different animals. It was here that Yolanda enjoyed gardening, crocheting and thoroughly enjoyed living the country life. Above all, she loved spending time with her family and friends. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Survivors include her husband, Scott; daughter DeeDee (Jeremy) Fish, son Charles Bagwell, Jr., son Bruce Lincoln, stepsons Daniel Rozinek and Nathan Rozinek; grandchildren Emory, Alyssa and Jase Fish, Taylor (Dakota) Bagwell and Andrea Vrchoticky; mother Margaret Bruno; siblings Carol (Carson) Sparrow and Carlo (Debbie) Bruno; and several nieces, nephews, in-laws and cousins.
She is preceded in death by her father Rio Dean Bruno (1996).
