(nee BUORS)

It is with incredible sadness that we announce the recent passing of Yvonne, 64 years of age, after she succumbed to illness at the Health Sciences Center. She fought with calm dignity, revealing unimaginable reservoirs of strength that kept us hopeful for so long.Yvonne is survived by daughters, Kim (Bobbie) and Kelly (Dwain); grandson, Laine; granddaughter, Camryn; mother, Therese; all of her brothers; sisters and their families along with her mother-in-law, Marcelline; brothers and sisters-in-law and their families. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 42 years, Douglas; father, Julien; father-in-law, Frank; brother-in-law, Gerry; nephew, Shane and great niece Oryanna.Mom is most remembered for her sharp sense of humor and extremely quick wit. The measured thoughtfulness that she employed in everything – especially matters of the heart, revealed her tremendous intelligence, her fierce love and unparalleled generosity. Mom loved all things Anne of Green Gables, had a great passion for music, loved her adventurous tours with Laine, loved the reflection of Camryn as her mini-me and never met a crossword she couldn’t finish but truly, no words could adequately sum up the magnitude of her exquisite character.Mass of Christian Burial will be Celebrated Friday, February 12, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in Christ the King Roman Catholic Church, 315 – 2nd Street East, Stonewall, Manitoba.A special thank-you to Dr. Eric Jacobsen for doing all he could for Mom.In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations in Yvonne’s name be made to the Health Sciences Center Foundation.  Wojcik’s Funeral Chapels & Crematorium, Winnipeg, 2157 Portage Avenue, 204.897.4665 www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com
Rest peacefully. You are my sunshine.
