Yvonne Lincoln Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 14, 2025.
Yvonne "Bonnie" Lincoln, born Yvonne Nadine Tertocha on January 16, 1937, in Decatur, Illinois, passed away peacefully on May 10, 2025, in Christmas, Florida. She was 88 years old.

Bonnie was the beloved daughter of the late Raymond and Evelyn Tertocha. Throughout her life, she embodied warmth and strength, qualities that endeared her to all who knew her. Her deep love for her family was evident in every aspect of her life and will remain a lasting part of her legacy.

She shared many cherished years with her husband, the late Leon C. Lincoln. Together they built a life rooted in love and devotion. Bonnie's memory lives on through the family she held so dear: her daughter, Diana Whiteside; her grandchildren, Michelle Tobyansen and Robert Whiteside; and her great-grandchildren-Caleb and Carly Tobyansen, and Izabelle and Olivia Whiteside-who brought immense joy to her later years.

Bonnie is also lovingly remembered by her brother, Raymond W. Tertocha Jr., and her sister, Anita L. Henigman. Their bond remained strong throughout the decades, a testament to the enduring ties of family.

Those who had the privilege of knowing Bonnie will remember her for the joy she brought into their lives. Her presence was a source of comfort and happiness, and her legacy will continue to inspire those she leaves behind.

May her memory bring peace and comfort to all who knew and loved her.
