We would like to send our condolences to the family on the passing of Yvonne. A special lady who always took the time to talk and find out how your family and life is going.
My sincere condolences to Hugh, Leigh, Scott, Ryan and families. Yvonne will be missed.
I first met Yvonne when I took my kids to swimming lessons. She had her grandkids in the same set. We had a few visits there and she would always stop to say hello and have a chat. Enjoyed that so much! Our condolences.
So sorry to hear of Yvonne’s passing. Sincere sympathy to all of the family. She was a great neighbor and we always enjoyed the coffee visits at our house or hers. That laugh of hers still brings a smile to my face. Hugh and her were missed when they left the Nottingham area.
Yvonne was my aunt...my dad was her older brother Wayne. Most of my memories of her are when I was younger because we didn't get to see each other very often but she would call Mom now and then to fill her in on family news. I do remember her being outspoken and tough as nails and also a softy at heart.Truly one of a kind. She was the last of our parent's family and has left us to be reunited with them all. Rest in Peace Aunt Yvonne...you will be missed xoxo
