Yvonne was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of Annunziata Catholic Church. After Druby’s retirement they spent many happy years traveling the country in their RV. Yvonne was a lifelong mother of three generations. Her own mother passed away when she was 15 years old and she assumed responsibility for raising her siblings, then raised her own five children, and assisted in raising her two grandchildren when her daughter passed away at 29 years of age.

The family would like to offer sincere thanks to the entire staff at the Suites of Sugar Mill Point and Haydel Hospice for their care and devotion to Yvonne. A special thanks to the wonderful staff on the green and pink neighborhoods who were her friends and caregivers. A most special thanks to Eva Sapia who loved and cared for Yvonne for many years. And finally, so much love and appreciation for Shirley, her loving sister who spent many hours at her side.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to Annunziata Catholic Church.
