The English family is experiencing the unimaginable heartbreak of losing their beloved daughter, Yvette English, who was called home to Heaven on October 12, 2026. Born on January 9, 2008, in Chicago, Yvette was a bright, compassionate, and hardworking young woman with a promising future ahead of her. Her loss leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Yvette was a recent graduate of Belvidere High School, where she graduated cum laude and was a member of the National Honor Society. She also earned her Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification through the State of Illinois and Rock Valley College. With a heart for helping others, Yvette continued pursuing her dreams at Rock Valley College, completing her prerequisite courses with the goal of becoming a nurse. She was employed as a CNA at Javon Bea.
In addition to her work in healthcare, Yvette was a manager at her family’s business, Zae’s Classic Chicago Hot Dog and Polish. She was dedicated to her family and took pride in being part of the family business, contributing her time and energy to something they built together.
Above all, Yvette’s faith was an important part of her journey. On November 24, 2024, she renewed her faith in Christ, a meaningful milestone in her life. Though her time here was far too short, the love she shared, the lives she touched, and the memories she created will remain in the hearts of her family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to know her.
No family should have to endure the pain of losing a child, especially one so young, with so much life ahead of her. As the English family navigates this devastating loss, we hope to surround them with love, support, and compassion during this incredibly difficult time.
