I was in her class at Fairfax HS, class of 1970. Wonderful teacher, wonderful person, made learning fun. So sad to hear of her passing. This World needs more like her.

You will never be forgotten, the lives you touched the love that poured from your being. When I learned about your death my heart sank, I always believed we would meet again one day....

Dearest Yvonne, your friendship will never be forgotten. Our time shared at your home on Warner, out to dinner, or bidding at the art auctions were the BEST. Know our love lives on, Marguerite & Lee

Mrs. "Y" Schwartz was one of the best teachers I had. She made learning fun and still remember her great personality. I learned a lot about great classic movies from her too. Fairfax High School, class of 1975.
