Yvonne Condon Obituary

Condon, Yvonne

fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 22, 2019. Yvonne was the cherished daughter of the late Thomas M. and Mary (nee' McCaffrey) Condon; dear sister of Kevin (Joanne) Condon, and the late Col. Kathleen Condon USANC; dear aunt of Eileen (Steve) Meyer, Kevin P. (Jennifer) Condon, Kathy (Fred) Condon-Boettcher, and Michael (Mary Jo) Condon; great-aunt of Elisabeth Condon, Kathleen V. Condon, Elias Meyer, Christopher Condon, and Andrew Condon; and a dear friend to so many. Yvonne was an historian and lecturer with the Missouri Historical Society, and formerly a teacher at St. Mark's High School and Mary Queen of Peace grade school. She was a proud lifelong resident of the City of St. Louis and never had any intention of leaving the city. After retiring, Yvonne traveled worldwide with her sister, Kathleen who operated a travel agency out of San Antonio Texas, visiting Russia, China, Asia, Europe, and everywhere in between. Yvonne was surrounded by a special group of high school classmates who, since 1954, have met once a month without fail. They are a gracious group of ladies. The family wishes to thank the good people at The Sheridan at Creve Coeur and Serenity Home Hospice for their extraordinary care and kind treatment to Yvonne.

Ms. Condon was one of my teachers at St. Mark's High School in the 60's. She was a good teacher and a great human being.

My mom worked at the library at the Missouri History Museum, and I volunteered in the education department's summer programs in the early 1980s. I spent most of my volunteering time with Yvonne, and she frequently took me out to lunch. I have fond memories of our time together. My condolences to her family.

Ms Condon was my World History teacher at St Marks High School class of 1969.
I am so grateful for her devotion to teaching
I have always loved history thanks to her.
May she reap the rewards of a good life.

I attended St. Mark High School. I remember what a great teacher Ms Condon was and how much we enjoyed her classes.

I worked with Yvonne at the Missouri History Museum, and she would come back to visit after she retired. She was one of the nicest (and funniest) people I knew from working there, and I always looked forward to our lively conversations.
