Our condolences to Yvonne’s family. We have lived on the same street for many years and often stopped to have a chat with Yvonne. She was always gracious with a good sense of humor and will be missed.
my sincere condolences go out to Charla, Greg and Yvonne’s brothers. My friendship with Yvonne first began in Maple Creek Sask. in 1958. We both moved to Calgary and worked together for 6 years t Kleen Ltd where she was the bookkeeper and I the secretary. We visited each other every year since 1958 and once traveled southern United States together for a month. Yvonne was always a very happy upbeat girl who loved to have fun. She lived every day for the moment-a lesson for us all. She will be sorely missed but has left a legacy of love and laughter for us all. RIP Yvonne.
Dear Greaves Family – Just as the pandemic began me and my daughter (Catherine now 15) were shocked to learn that Yvonne passed away in November. Over the years Catherine really enjoyed many happy Winfield United yard sales where she counted money with Yvonne. She even considered becoming an accountant! Yvonne was a Special person and we will miss her. This message extends our condolences for your loss. To remember her and celebrate her memorable spirit and smiles, we have made a contribution to Yvonne’s Winfield United community. Again our condolences:
John and Catherine Greenough
