Passed away peacefully on Friday June 21, 2013 in Vancouver at the age of 78, following a courageous battle with cancer.  Yvonne is predeceased by her parents, Marie and Joseph and daughter Patricia.  She will be lovingly remembered always by her daughter, Cheri Niven nee Thorndyke (Bruce), son, Wayne Thorndyke, sister, Gladys Beaul (Peter Lonergan), brother, Henry (Adele) and her nephews and niece.

Mom, we love you and miss you and always will.

Always so good, unselfish and kind
Few on this earth your equal we find
Honorable and upright in all your ways
Loyal and true to the end of your days.
You will not be forgotten.

We appreciate all the love and support from family and friends.

A private reception in celebration of Yvonne will be held at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
