Yvonne adored spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was an avid University of Michigan fan and for 30 years, Ed and Yvonne looked forward to tailgating with their friends before every home game. She also enjoyed playing weekly bridge games with her friends, who recall that she taught them how to play. Yvonne was a member of the Detroit area U of M Alumnae Association, and served on the committee that helped provide merit and need-based scholarships to undergraduate women.
