Not sure what to say?

This when my cousin came here to Eugene with here daughter to visit, I´m so sad I just found this out so sorry to here of here passing, spent many times in Gladstone and Oregon city!! With my parents to visit and spend holidays

Yvonne was my sister's sister-in-law. My husband Tom and I thought she was so warm and welcoming the times we visited her home or other times when we might see her. There was always a big smile and a hug, just as if she were your mom. I know that there is a big hole in the family now that Yvonne is gone, but I will always remember what a joy it was to see her, even if that wasn't often. My sincere condolences to all her family - she was terrific. Livvy Smith

You will be greatly missed. You had a positive impact on everyone around you.

My grandmother was very special to me. As I write this my eyes are filling with tears thinking of how I will not be able to call her again to tell her some crazy thing my kids did, how I did at bowling, ask her for help making a pie or just to see how her day was. Not a day goes by that I have not thought of her. I have been blessed with enough wonderful memories to last a lifetime. I will see you again someday. I will end this saying to you the last thing you said to me before you...

Yvonne reached out to me a few years ago, expressing great interest in joining the "Spare Time" bowling league. She was hesitant at first, citing her age as a factor. I can honestly say, her age did not deter her skill and determination whatsoever. She was a great bowler and became such an inspiration to those younger bowlers, reminding us all that age is just a number. She was such a sweet and dear lady, who was an absolute joy to see every Wednesday for bowling.

Aunt Yvonne was my all time favorite person... Especially when I was a kid. She was so fun to spend time with. I have great memories of doing crafts with her, walking to the park and feeding the ducks and she always made rice krispie treat when my Brother and I came to visit. She still sent me a card and short letter for my birthday and Christmas every year. She will be greatly missed and I am so sad I didn't stay more connected. Love you Aunt Yvonne and will see again someday.

Yvonne was my mom's cousin, I was thankful to be a part of Yvonne's life, because I kept in touch with her over the years, I told Yvonne that I bowled a perfect game in bowling (300 Game) & Yvonne & I discussed family on the phone when I called her. Yvonne's dad (Bob) & my Grandma Ruth were brother & sister, the last time I got to see Yvonne was in 2018 when my cousin Melanie got married, Yvonne was so full of love & excitement & I am glad I kept in touch with her. Thanks for the memories...

Yvonne was the sweetest of the sweet. We were on a bowling league that she encouraged me to join. So glad I did. She was an awesome bowler. She loved it. And when we had holiday potlucks, she brought her yummy cookies. I will miss her.

The first time I met Yvonne-she welcomed me with a huge smile, grace and warm conversation. Through the years I grew to love her and thanked her for the big influence she had during our son Nolans life, he loves to read novels and I know he didn't get that from us. Nolan could talk to his grandma about anything and she always made the time for him growing up and their conversations were just between them. This world lost a beautiful woman but heaven gained a great soul. Deb Dorgan
