Obituary of Ornella Yasuhara

On January 4, 2016, Ornella Yasuhara lost her life in a car accident in Sterling, VA. The quiet dignity with which she selflessly gave back to the community was respected by all those whose lives she touched. There will be a memorial gathering at Reston Community Center Lake Anne (1609-A Washington Plaza, Reston VA 20190) on Sunday, January 10 from 1pm to 4pm to show her how much she was loved, cared for and thought about by everyone who knew her. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ornella's name to Heifer International or Kids in Needs of Desks (K.I.N.D.). She is survived by husband Eiji, son Carlo, and daughter Aiko. Ornella, you were the most loving, dependable, genuine person we've had the privilege of sharing part of our lives with. We love you forever.
