We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend, Yvette Hilliker, who passed away on Monday.
Yvette has been part of the IRC clogging family for almost 20 years: tirelessly dancing, supporting workshops and events, being our biggest cheerleader at performances, and donating countless hours to ensure we had the best and most interesting raffle baskets and door prizes at our annual Pow Wow workshops.
Yvette was the life and soul of any gathering. She had a great sense of humor and loved dressing up in elaborate costumes and holiday outfits. She was game for anything, even spending a weekend acting the role of gypsy fortune teller at Pow Wow 2024.
She was inducted into the Florida Clogging Council Hall of Fame in 2022 in recognition of her contributions to clogging in the state.
We will sorely miss her sunny smile, infectious laugh, creativity, and companionship.
Our thoughts are with Mary, Caitlin and family at this sad time.
