Yvonne attended school in Broken Bow, then graduated from Anne Carlson School in Jamestown, North Dakota.
After Jamestown, Yvonne came home for three years, and then she moved to Quality Living Inc in Omaha, NE. Yvonne enjoyed living at QLI in Omaha for she was closer to home, the city life, shopping at Westroads Mall, attended the “Alabama” concert, and volunteered at the CHI Health Immanuel.
Yvonne enjoyed reading and loved tutoring children in reading, because she wanted them to have that opportunity to be a better reader. 
Yvonne liked to learn about the Catholic faith because many of her friends were Catholic.
