Yvonne loved her family and being a grandmother. She enjoyed spending some time at the Saratoga Casino with her daughters.
All someone had to do was mention they would like to have something and Yvonne would go on a treasure hunt, eventually find it and give it to that person. No matter how long it took- she would come through!
She was an excellent cook and baker; and loved the outdoors and going to snow mobile "Water Cross" events.
Yvonne would go without to ensure that her family never did. No matter what the financial circumstances she always participated in Give a Child a Christmas and multiple food panty donations. She donated to St. Jude's\Help End Childhood Cancer, donated baked goods for varies health related facilities, and helped with bulk mailings in Saratoga Springs - for Non-Profit Organization by folding letters and stuffing envelopes. She truly was a selfless humanitarian.
