Yvonne ran the information booth every year for the Avenue of Flags ran by Marine Corp League 455. She had a passion for beading and knitting.

She knitted beanies and blankets that she donated to the children’s hospital and for the senior center. Yvonne was a multiple cancer survivor and walked in the relay for life every year. She was truly the happiest when she was surrounded by her family with the sounds of laughter and cards being played at every table.
