Yvonne was born October 08, 1931 in Fulton, Mississippi to David Edgar Wilemon and Vada Belle Shields Wilemon. In her later years, she was an avid quilter and made beautiful quilts with her quilting friends. Each family has at least one if not two quilts or more to remember her. When Yvonne and her husband, Billy, were younger, they loved to travel, especially travels to see family in the western part of the U.S. Yvonne and Billy also traveled to Europe and thoroughly enjoyed seeing other cultures and of course, she loved shopping. Yvonne was a collector of crystal and found several beautiful pieces in Europe that she sent home. Most of all, she loved her family and when visiting with her, should would always ask about the grandkids and great grandkids and wanted to know what they were doing. She wanted to be kept up to date on everyone.
