Yvonne Kizer Obituary

Yvonne Myriam Kizer passed away July 23 at Sacred Heart at RiverBend. She was born in Albany, Oregon, December 9, 1931, to Ray A. and Miriam Hough. She is survived by her brother, Allen Hough living in Twin Falls, Idaho; sons: Mitch (Barbara) residing in Kennewick, Washington; and Kevin (Laura) residing in Springfield, Oregon; and their children: Alisha (Mike) Smith from Creswell, Oregon; and Jennifer (Andrew) Lanzarotta in Veneta, Oregon; and Gavin Cunningham in Springfield, Oregon; and two great-grandchildren.

Yvonne spent her early years in Klamath Falls before moving to Springfield. During her life, Yvonne served as a Cub Scout leader for her sons, an office manager for a local optician, traveled to Europe, and took several cruises with her husband, Harold, and her grandchildren. Yvonne was active in Relay-for-Life after Harold passed away from cancer. She enjoyed her time with family, especially the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A celebration of her life will be held August 30, 1:30pm, at Wesley United Methodist Church in Eugene.
