Yanesoreya T. Powell, 74, of Lancaster passed away at home in the warm embrace of her husband on May 1, 2021. Born in Vietnam, she was the daughter of the late Kien Sot and Thach Thi Cavanh. On April 23rd she celebrated her 35th wedding anniversary to her soulmate, Leon Powell, Sr.

She was a parishioner of the Worship Center in Leola where she participated in the Bible studies and was part of First Steps Ministry. Her warm, honest demeaner was cherished by all who knew her, which made her the perfect candidate for welcoming new members to the church.

Yanesoreya will be remembered for having the beautiful gift of always making others feel special. She was also quite honest and had a bold presence. You never had to question how she felt about something because she would share her opinion whether you liked it or not.

She will be sorely missed by her husband Leon, children: Leon Powell Jr. of Glenolden, PA and LaChelle Cooper, wife of David of Pennsauken, NJ, grandchildren: Ashley, Deion, Dominick, Chaveala and Larin Powell, and Sean, Kayla, and Leilani Cooper, great grandchildren: Maurice Voss and Cohen Powell, all who affectionately referred to her as "Grandma Soreya", siblings: Serei Comley (Wayne) of Blackwood, NJ, Yuthini Thach (the late Sanh) of St. Petersburg, FL, Sereivuth Sot of Pennsauken, NJ, Sereivuthi Thach (Son) of Cherry Hill, NJ and Sovann Sot (Diane) of Southampton, NJ, and a host of nieces, nephews and extended family. She was preceded in passing by her parents and a sibling, Sovath Sot.
