Her loss is deeply mourned by her brothers Aloysius and Maurice, sisters Angela, Eileen and Barbara, sisters-in-law Martha, Freda and Vilma Soares, brother-in-law Albert Fernandes and many nephews, nieces, great nephews and nieces, and friends. Yvonne’s career began as a school teacher at Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Bombay, India.

She came to the United States with Ayres in 1963 and graduated with a Master’s Degree in Education from Ohio University. She spent most of her working career with the Columbus Public Schools focusing on the educational needs of handicapped children.
