It saddens me so much to hear about this loss to our family. I will always remember Aunt Yvonne for her kind and fun-loving nature, and her readiness to help others.
I personally have too many great memories to mention here, from our trips to their camp at Lake Catherine as a "kid" until having her at many Serpas functions as we became
adults.
It brings me so much peace to know that she is now reunited with Uncle Joe, A.J. and Chezzy, and my Mom and Dad, (Ethel and Roy).
Aunt Yvonne you will always be loved and missed. So proud to be one of your nieces and nephews, Susan Serpas Kramer.
I will never forget her un-wavering faith. I remember distinctly going to church with her when she moved to Folsom, I sat next to her in the pew 1/2 hour before mass (the woman hated to be late for church), we were sitting at towards the back of the church, the isle was open where the preist would walk in from the confessional area. There is a statue of Mary, we were praying the rosary and she leaned over to me and asked does she pray with you? I looked at her and said no ma'am. She said look, see she is praying with us. I asked Mawmaw "does she always prays with you?" To which she responded yes, and look at me and smiled. I truly believe that she had a guardian angel, and that she was truly blessed. She received a miracle everyday. How many people can say that? Her faith was mighty and a true testament of God's gift to us. God's most loving and faithful servant has been welcomed home.
My Dearest Aunt Yvonne. One of the six strong Wilbur girls.

Anyone that knew Aunt Yvonne knew that she never met a stranger. She made friends everywhere she went. She was the best dishwasher and table wiper around. Don't put your cup down because if you did it would disappear. After she left my house I would have to call her and ask her where everything was. She always wanted to help.
She loved to play cards and if you wanted to or not, you would learn how to play Kings in the Corner. She was fun loving and up for any adventure. Her and her friends Lorraine and Audrey would get in the car and travel all over with never a worry. We all went to the beach one year and Aunt Yvonne is just wading out in the water. When she finally came back in she told me she could not swim.
Aunt Yvonne always wore a watch....... but I don't think she every looked at the time. She would show up at our house all hours of the night, sometimes alone and sometimes with her friends... but she was always welcomed. One night she called me at midnight and said "Hon what ya doing, you sleeping? "I was just resting Aunt Yvonne". She said "Well I just wanted to tell you to watch a movie on TV" then she proceeded to tell me about the movie.
She loved Children. I think she had something like 18 Godchildren and she was so very proud of that.
Aunt Yvonne was also famous for her "Cat Naps" She could take a ten minute nap and go for hours. She was a very special person. She was the kindest person and had the biggest heart. She definitely had a Guardian Angel that traveled with her. She was lost one time and was guided home by a vision of the Blessed Mother in the sky. I never had a doubt it happened.
Aunt Yvonne will truly be missed but I know she will be watching over us and her and Uncle Joe are playing cards with my Daddy.
We love you Aunt Yvonne!
