Yvonne had a full life anchored in her love of family, zest for living, successful career and ability to adapt.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband Jasiu Gadomski (died 2008) of 56 years and by her dear sisters in England (Wiesia Chmura, Basia Berka).

She will be fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews, other relatives and lifelong friends.
Yvonne was born in 1930 in Sarny, Eastern Poland. As a result of World War ll, she was deported with her family to a labor camp in the Soviet Arctic. Eventually they found their way to a refugee camp in Eastern Africa where they spent 6 years. In 1948, Yvonne and her family left for London, England where she was educated in nursing and where she met Jasiu, an engineer and her future husband. In 1951, Yvonne and Jasiu came to Canada and settled in Montreal where their 3 daughters were born. In 1971, they moved to Ottawa where Yvonne pursued a new career in real estate.
