Obituary of Ah-Yo-Ka “Yoki Bear” Calhoun
Ah-Yo-Ka Calhoun, 5, of Cherokee, North Carolina passed away tragically on January 9, 2021 along with her mother, Jessica “Jet” Calhoun, also of Cherokee, North Carolina. Known the name she loved to call herself, Yoki Bear is preceded in death by her great grandmother, Josephine Kalonaheskie.
Yoki Bear leaves behind her brother, Elvis Calhoun; her sisters: Jallen Calhoun and Ataliana Calhoun, all of Cherokee, North Carolina. In addition, she is survived by her grandmother, Myra Calhoun; her aunt Deana Davis that she called her Dean Dean; her uncles: Jarette (Dawnenna) Calhoun that she knew as Waldo and Aunt Nini, and Joshua Calhoun.
Yoki enjoyed fighting with her sisters and brothers. She loved collecting Teddy Bears. Yoki was known to occasionally steal her Pop’s Oklahoma Sooners jackets, shirts and hats. Yoki Bear was one baby that would make sure someone was good, and liked to make people feel better. She was a beautiful baby girl that had lots of love to give out.
