Margy M. Yanacos 1939-2025

Margy was born Sept. 23, 1939, in Newell, W.Va., and grew up in the Sebring area.

She graduated from Sebring McKinley High School in 1957 and earned her nursing degree from Mercy Hospital in Canton in 1960.

Margy dedicated 40 years of her life to her career as a registered nurse, working with Dr. Torti in Salem and at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, from where she later retired.

Margy was an active member of Canfield Presbyterian Church, where she also volunteered her time. She was an avid sports fan, with a special love for the Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers. Margy cherished attending her grandsons’ sporting events when they were younger.

Alongside her husband, James, a Sebring McKinley graduate of 1956, she enjoyed traveling, spending winters in Fort Myers, Florida, and taking cross-country trips on her husband’s Harley. Margy also looked forward to getaways with her nursing friends.

She leaves behind her beloved husband, James Yanacos, whom she married March 10, 1961; her daughter and son-in-law, Lori Yanacos-Clark (Jeff); and three grandsons, Bryan (Victoria El-Hayek) Clark, Brady (Kaylee) Clark and Jared (Maura) Clark.

Margy was preceded in death by her parents, and her sister, Ruthann Hughes.

A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025, at Canfield Presbyterian Church. Friends may call 10 to 10:45 a.m. Saturday at the church.
