Yvonne Sangiacomo

She was wonderful. I remember her teaching us to cook when I attended NDV. A truly great lady.

Yvonne was a gift from above, everything she touched she changed for the better. Her smile, her wink and her chuckle filled you with love.
Boy did she love life and life loved her right back, blessing her with a fantastic family and wonderful friends. Yvonne, could never do enough; her generosity was unlimited. Her heart was in everything and nothing was too big of a challenge. Yvonne as always will be in our thoughts and prayers. Love you always my dearest cousin, Sandy and Felipe.

What a remarkable woman in so many ways and how impoverished we must all feel at Yvonne’s passing. Few indeed are those who have shown more love and care for strangers. I’d not seen Yvonne much in recent years but her joyful example left a huge imprint on me (as on so many others) beginning way back in my childhood days at NDV with the Sangiacomo brood. What an extraordinary and wonderful Catholic woman, and what a legacy she leaves for us all. My family and I send our most earnest...

Peter and I extend our heartfelt condolences to Yvonne's children and all her family and friends.

I was privileged to enjoy friendship with Yvonne for many years. Her talents were quiet, yet powerful. She was a leader and ran meetings with an ethic of care. I remember going to a meeting committed to not taking on a task but rather writing a check. Yvonne told me I would be the best for a job while her smile lit up the room. I left happy to do the work and wrote the check as well....

What I remember most about Mrs. Sangiacomo was her generosity and thoughtfulness. I remember sitting in bleachers at Craig and Matt's baseball games and Mrs. Sangiacomo would appear with a gigantic picnic basket of treats for all the NDV families!! I ran into her several years back at the cheese shop near Tower Market and we had some good laughs. I'm so sorry, Anna and family, for your loss. Such a treasure, and it seems she truly lived life to its fullest.

May Mrs. Sangiacomo rest In peace and may the Lord comfort her family. I especially treasure my memories of her grandchildren Giancarlo, Mica and Angelo.

Yvonne and I grew up on Hartford Street and somewhere between the age of 7 and 9 she became my first heartthrob ... although she didn't know it.
Even as a child Yvonne had that great warm smile and fun loving leadership personality.
We also had a common thread as both our fathers were in the restaurant business, Bimbo's and Tadich Grill ... 2 San Francisco landmarks and have remained friends throughout the years.

Yvonne will always be fondly remembered for her...
