Abigail Heidi Yandell, 18 years old, of Brookline, NH, unexpectedly left us in a tragic car accident on June 27th, 2010. Abby spent her entire life as a New Hampshire resident and started her early education at the Pine Hill Waldorf School in Wilton, New Hampshire, culminating with her recent graduation from High Mowing School, also in Wilton. Abby was eager to begin studying Holistic Psychology at Lesley College in Cambridge. In addition to spending time with her friends and family, Abby could be found working at Brookdale Fruit Farm. She was a talented artist, a fierce athlete, and a caring and devoted friend to all of those who knew her.
