She is also survived by her doggies that she loved so much, her community in Sodus, her adopted grandchildren and her many friends. If everyone was listed that meant something to her we would need a whole page at least. Just know she loved each and every one of you 

As you can tell above Yvonne had a very large family. Family meant everything to Yvonne. She enjoyed spending time with her family, watching Days of Our Lives, listening to and dancing to music, watching and listening to performances, picking out and planting flowers, watching her “naked cowboy” on Tik Tok, cooking with and for her family, watching Mickey and dancing the hot dog dance with George, being there for anyone that needed her and even when they didn't, and going to the casino and playing the piggies. She always only wanted the best for everyone. One thing her family will tell you is she was always right and they hated it but it still makes you smile. If she didn't know you (which was very rare) she would know you in about 15 minutes of a conversation and made you feel like family from that moment on. Yvonne will be missed by all but can never be forgotten. And Thank you to the amazing staff at the Highland Hospital that made this very hard and difficult time something just a little easier.
