So sorry to hear about Yvettes passing. Growing up my family spent a lot of time with Yvette and Rita. They were best friends with Aunt Jeanne and Aunt Dot and we had many great times with them. Now they are all together again, probably playing cards in heaven!

So sorry to learn of Yvette's passing; please accept my condolences. I have fond memories of her. She worked with my mom (Dot Maynard) many moons ago at "Cote & Lowry"and other names. My parents, my husband and I bowled with her too. She was always such a lady.....

I work at the Pawtucket Housing Authority in the accounts payable department. I met Yvette when she became a member of the Board of Commissioners. She was a beautiful person, well loved by all. When she became the chairwoman of the board I used to visit her every week so she could approve the accounts payable check register. We had some wonderful conversations. She loved being on the Board and was a fair and honest member. I am so sorry I lost touch with her. Yvette and Rita are now...

My sister Yvette was a strong willed person and had a drive to succeed in everything she did. She was also a caring person and would help anyone who needed it. She faught and long hard fight with Altzheimers and in the end was overtaken by this COAVID-19 virus. She will be sorely missed. Love you Eve.
