Yvonne Ann Blanchard died peacefully at her home in Baton Rouge on 1/28/2023 at the age of 74. Yvonne was born and raised in White Castle, earned a BA from Nicholls State University, and worked for ATT as an electronic technician for the majority of her career. Yvonne was an avid reader, enjoyed crossword puzzles, word games, and a friendly game of golf. Maybe some Black Jack and Slots once in a while. She was also a big fan of LSU women's basketball and softball. Yvonne was a loyal and loving wife, sister, aunt, and friend! Yvonne is survived by her wife of 45 years Rikki M Wintz, sister-in-law Judy L Blanchard of White Castle, niece Traci B Parsons (Kyle), & great nephews Matthew and Brennen Parsons of Plaquemine, her Wintz family, and a large group of special friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents Myrtle Cariello “Noonie” of Gretna & Herbert “Sport” Blanchard of White Castle, nephew Brett Blanchard and brother Kenneth Blanchard.
