Gene, Roberta and family - I was sorry to hear of your Moms passing. Mrs. Lunnemann (as I knew her) was always warm & generous, a colorful and free spirit who was more than a few steps ahead of her time. I have nothing but the fondest of memories of visits and overnight stays out at the farm - that lady could COOK...! I am praying that you all will experience supernatural comfort during this time -

To Roberta, Gene, and Gary. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember being at the farm and Yvonne made this amazing sandwich spread for lunch. I can't believe I remember that after more than 50 years......She was a treasure. RIP

Yvonne was born on September 10, 1934 in Ava, IL, the daughter of Anton and Clara (Lindner) Svanda. As a young girl she sang soprano in classical productions and also performed in many community chorus shows and churches in Pinckneyville, IL. Yvonne married Robert Leo Lunnemann in October 1951 at St. Bruno Catholic Church, Pinckneyville, IL and he preceded in death on November 2, 1982.

Yvonne and Robert had maintained a prized registered Poll Hereford cattle farm and later raised and trained thoroughbred racing horses. She never met a stranger and imparted kindness and understanding to the people in the path of her life.
