Tommy had especially fond memories of working at the Cleveland County Fair Association for over 47 years. He loved to garden and had a special talent going back to his time in the Army for fixing things and enjoyed his small engine repair business for many years. He loved sports, and most of all, he was a die-hard Carolina Tarheels fan, passionate about watching Tarheels basketball. Ultimately, Tommy was a people person, with an unquenchable positive attitude.
Tommy was devoted to his family. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife, Frances Lee Yarborough, and his sister, Betty Willis. He is survived by his son, Terry Yarborough, and wife, Gale, of Kinston, NC; daughter, Myra Pellissier, and husband, Steve, of Charlottesville, VA; brothers, Henry Yarborough, and wife, Lelia Jane, of Shelby, and Pete Yarborough and wife, Jean, of Kings Mountain; grandchildren, Lee Yarborough, and wife, Hayes, of La Grange, NC; Emily Whitehead and husband, Michael, of Greenville, NC; and Mark, Chris, and Alan Pellissier of Charlottesville, VA; and great-grandchildren, Hardy and Sallie Yarborough.
