Ava Faye Kennedy Yant, 83, of Greenbrier, went to be with the Lord Friday February 2, 2018. She was born November 4, 1934 in Quitman, AR to Ernest ''Red'' and Esther Kennedy. She grew up in Quitman, AR and graduated from Quitman High School where she cheered for the Bulldogs.

Ava was married to Erban ''Erbie'' Yant at 19 years old and they shared 64 years together. She was a long time member of Trinity Faith Tabernacle Assembly of God Church in Greenbrier. She retired from the State in 1985. Ava enjoyed Fishing, cooking, working in her flowers and loving on the grand-kids.
