YeVonne GEBHARD Obituary

YeVonne Gebhard lovingly known as "Bonnie" was born January 17, 1945, in Spokane, Washington. On March 27, 2024, Bonnie went to sleep in the arms of Jesus with her family holding her.

Her greatest life's work was being a Wife, Mom, Aunt, Nano, and Great-Grandma.

She is survived by her loving husband, Loren; her children, Walter, Andre, and Zetta; and her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her son, Shawn.

Bonnie lived a life loving on her family with great intention. She loved playing games, especially pinochle with her children and grandchildren and was known for winning at the slot machines at the Casino. You could find her in the kitchen dancing to the oldies, making Deviled Eggs and her Famous Bon Bons for every family gathering. She loved the "Find My Friend" App…. Knowing where her family was throughout the day and those daily text and phone calls completed her love language! She prided herself on having the Cleanest House around, no dust to be found!

Some of her favorite memories were her trips to Mazatlan and fishing in Alaska.

The simplicity of living a life with those she loved mattered most to her.

Her eyes spoke of her love… from the depths of her soul.

Our Bonnie will be extremely missed. Her love, courage, and grace will live on in all those who loved her most.

While we wish we had one more dance in the kitchen, we know she is fully alive dancing with Jesus.

Thank you to the family and friends who have showered Papa Lolo and our family with love.

Bonnie was love. She loved her family and friends and we loved her right back. Thanks to Bob Baker we all got together for lunch just a few weeks ago and caught up with each other. Bonnie and I bragged about our grandchildren one more time.
