Pauline Yelvington Posey, also known as Polly and Mamaw, went to be with her Lord on May 21, 2019. Born in Shawnee, Oklahoma on May 21, 1925 to parents, Henry Blakely Yelvington and Anne Pauline (Moore) Yelvington, her family soon moved to Texas and eventually settled in San Marcos where she graduated from high school and attended Southwest Texas State Teachers College. She married James Alvin Posey in January 1948 and raised three children in San Antonio.
