She loved to make her special zucchini bread whenever I would come over to her house.... She will be dearly missed by all of the family.

Yvonne will be sincerely missed but always remembered and will always be in our hearts. It is comforting to know that she is resting in peace in her eternal home with our Lord and Savior. Yvonne and her husband Bob raised remarkable sons. Their famlily home was welcoming to all. Yvonne is a true definition of a genuine midwestern MN mother. Yvonne and her husband Bob defined the true meaning of a marriage. I feel very blessed to be friends with the Wenger family. I wish each family member my deepest condolences and may peace be with you as you keep in faith. All of us one day will be with Yvonne once again, as this is God' s plan. I know her physical absence here on Earth may feel very empty. God's will for our lives have reason and purpose. Yvonne will remain with us in memory and spirit.
Blessings to all.
Love and friendship, Sheryl McCaleb
