The “Betty White” of our family has gained her wings. Aunt Yvonne, your legacy lives on through all the lessons on humility, love, service, loyalty, and family you have so graciously given to us by just being you. My Aunt always had time to listen and give you a smile and a compassionate ear. She was a great cook and baker. A hard working woman who did what it took to raise a family with morals and respect. Most of all she embodied Grace through every trial and tribulation she faced. Aunt Yvonne always made it look easy. Rest in Peace Aunt Yvonne, thank you for all the love! – Roy Guilbeau, Jr.-

Mrs. Yvonne’s family would like to thank the staff of The Broadway and Notre Dame Hospice for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in her name to Holy Savior Catholic Church.
