October 14, 1935 - March 25, 2025

In loving memory ~

Yvonne lived with boundless energy and passion. She ran marathons and skied Nordic competitions, competed in long-distance canoe races, snowboarded and skied with her children and grandchildren, and often convinced Paul to join her on wilderness adventures. She was a wife to Paul, mother of 6, grandmother of 10, an adventurer, writer, and friend—a true inspiration to all who knew her. She will be deeply missed.
