    Yvonne was always an interesting and kind person to be around. Living to 100 her mind was still sharp and she was a wealth of knowledge. A family historian too as she shared many facts with us. She was also predeceased by a younger brother that was killed at the Woodstock Fair in a balloon accident many years ago. We will always have fond memories of her. She is in our thoughts and prayers.
