In Memoriam: Margaret Yelland, 76
Worked at Chemical

Margaret Gwendoline Yelland, 76, died on December 14, 2024 at her home in Saugerties, NY.
Yelland’s career in finance included time with Chemical Bank, Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse First Boston. Long-term assignments in global hubs including Bangkok and Hong Kong reflected her love of travel and cultural exploration, which she further pursued by picking up both Mandarin and Spanish.
She ultimately made New York's Upper West Side her home and married Alba LaFiandra in 2014. Yelland also loved the natural beauty and charm of the Saugerties community, where she served as a member of the Trinity Episcopal Church congregation and was a long-time participant in Lifespring.
She was predeceased by her spouse and a brother. She is survived by four siblings as well as her many nieces, nephews and extended family in both Australia and the United States
