Yvonne Marie Hunter

( nee St. Germain)

March 31, 1944 - May 8, 2025

After a long illness that stole nearly everything except her wicked sense of humour, Yvonne died surrounded by love and laughter.

She was predeceased by her husband Don, her parents and her siblings and is survived by her children, Kim (Rob) and Chris (Lisa), her beloved grand-dog Percy, and extended family.

Yvonne was an accomplished teacher and teacher-librarian in both Manitoba and B.C. and she truly loved teaching and the students and staff she worked with. Yvonne was clever, well-read, and always resourceful. Whether it was serving as a Councillor in the LGD (RM) of Alexander, on a Teachers' Union or yearbook committee, staining a deck, or reroofing a shed, she always did what needed to be done.

Yvonne was not naturally outgoing, and her shyness often came off as gruff. Once you got past this she was kind, silly, and loved to have fun. Our Mom loved to play games, and she really loved to win, especially at bridge. Softball, curling, golf, bowling, crosswords, Yahtzee, and of course cards - she was great at all of them and always up to play with a willing (victim) partner. She enjoyed travel to new places and enjoyed road trips with her sister Jeanne, especially to visit Jocelyne and Lucky in Providence or Cape Cod. Later she travelled with her kids to the Caribbean, across the Panama Canal, and a last great trip to Australia and New Zealand. She loved music - but only if it had lots of bass and a great beat. What she loved the most was having her kids and family and friends gathered together for a dinner that she didn't cook, with of course, lots of wine and music.

Kim and Chris would like to express our most heartfelt gratitude to the staff and residents of the Riverview CD3 community for two years of kindness, care, and compassion. Martha, your extraordinary care made a huge difference in Mom's life - thank you! Carly, Lai Ling, Harmandeep, Amandeep, Carlos, Katherine and so many more - thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

In keeping with her wishes cremation has taken place, and a family dinner (with lots of wine) was held. We love you little Momma.
