Born in: Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Resided in: Commack, NY

A loving, kind and beautiful woman, Yolande Pamphile shined in every room she graced— a shine that only comes from a generous, God-fearing spirit.
Born Marie Yolande Cine on May 22, 1941, in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti; but, lovingly known to everyone as Mommie Yolande. The eldest of seven children from Nickolas Cine and Lise Eva Casseus, Yolande would grow to be an amazing sister and role model for all of her siblings. Growing up in Haiti, she made lasting memories and developed life-long friendships; including her husband, Jean Pamphile, who she has known since she was 8 years old.

After moving to the United States, Yolande and Jean built a life together with their two children: Henry and Patricia. She had a wonderful career as a personal chef — cooking and feeding people was beyond a job for her; she cared for everyone through her food. She was an extraordinary mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, friend and so much more. She lived with an unabashed desire to experience life, from traveling the world to going on a cruise every year with her sister, Mona (everyone thought they were twins); to baking bread from scratch while she sang and danced in the kitchen – she truly was one of a kind.

Yolande entered eternal life on Sunday, September 24, 2023. She was predeceased by her parents and her brother Yvon. Her spirit is carried on by her husband, her two children, 7 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, 5 surviving siblings, and an extended family of relatives and friends.
