Yvonne Soares Obituary

MERIDEN - Yvonne (Demers) Soares, 88, of Meriden, passed away peacefully Friday, Jan. 2, 2015, surrounded by her family at Westfield Care and Rehab, where she had worked as a care giver for over 30 years.

She was born and raised in Fall River, Mass. She was predeceased by her husband, Augustine Soares. She loved family gatherings and spent many happy summer days with family at Cape Cod. Always generous to others, her final wish was that her body be donated to Yale Medical School to educate future doctors.

She is survived by her brother, George Demers and his wife, Beverly; and her sister, Madeleine Robillard. Yvonne is also survived by her five children, Carol (Al) Baron, Wayne Soares, Sharon Cascio, Brian Soares, and Patty (Ken) Mailhot; as well as 11 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.

A life celebration service will be held at Third Congregational Church, 94 Miner St., Middletown on Sunday, Jan. 11, at 2 p.m.

I will miss you forever and a day.
I will look for you always.
I will remember you when soft summer breezes blow and every time I see a scrabble board.
Over the river Eve. I know you will be waiting for us on the other side.
There is no word in the English language that can describe the pain I feel in my heart.
I will miss ever bit of you every day until we meet again.
love you.

Mrs. Soares was my neighbor from the time I was 11. I grew up with a few of her grandchildren. She was a really nice woman and had a beautiful smile. She loved her family very much, and it showed. My condolences on your loss.
