Her desires to start a family followed. Yvonne worked for Eagles Grocery stores for 5 years before embarking on a 25-year career in hospital administration at Illini Hospital.

Upon retirement from Illini, she headed south to Ft. Myers FL where she worked numerous jobs “on the beach” to stay active, but mostly to stay social. She loved people and people loved her back!

One of her proudest accomplishments in life was running the Bix 7 road race in Davenport!
