Yvonne Wilkey was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on July 30, 1945.

She was married to Eugene Wilkey after they met in the Navy in Maryland.

She is survived by her 3 sons, Richard, Raymond, and Ryan.

She passed on September 28, 2025, after a short battle with Pancreatitis.

After her time in the Navy, she went to college for a certificate in administrative skills.

She then helped run offices at each place the family moved to. Her final place was the Federal Way School District where she worked until retirement.

During her retirement she enjoyed traveling to places including Rome, Paris, and Las Vegas.

She was a very friendly person and enjoyed talking to people she met and the regulars at the Federal Way Mall where walked every morning.

Her smile will be missed by many.
