Yvonne belonged to Court Lady June L1912, Minto Recreation Committee and taught 4-H sewing. Yvonne liked to curl as well as watch curling, play bingo, sew, knit, crochet and ceramics.  She also enjoyed watching her grandchildren play their various sports.
Yvonne enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and watching them grow into adults and start their own families.
Due to declining health, Yvonne moved to Westview Lodge in April 2019 – then in August 2020 she got pneumonia and was required to move to Evergreen Place, until she passed away.
The family would like to send their sincerest thank you to Dr. Nell, and the staff at Westview Lodge and Evergreen Place for their wonderful, ongoing care of Mom, Grandma and Gogo.
