She was active in the Westminster Presbyterian Church choir and bowling league. In 2009, she moved to Augustana Regent at Burnsville and sang in the choir there as well. She transitioned to The Gables Care Center at Johanna Shores in 2020. Yvonne will be remembered for her lifelong role as a caregiver, her tireless work ethic, and her sweet, friendly nature.
