It is with great sadness and fond memories the family announces the passing of our beloved daughter, wife, mother and sister, Florence Yvonne (Vallis) LeJune in Port Angeles, Washington.
Yvonne was born in Sydney and was a former resident of Louisbourg.
She is survived by her loving husband, Karl; son, Stephen and daughter, Karla; parents, Orlando and Robina (Anderson) Vallis, Louisbourg; sisters, Doreen Vallis (Lloyd Jensen), Harbour Breton, Nfld., Denise (Keith) Forgeron, Mira, Corrie Ann Vallis (Lorraine Paulin), Glace Bay and brother, Stephen (Marilyn) Vallis, Kingston, N.S.; nephews, Josh, Aaron, Brennan, Evan, Robert and Spencer; nieces, Shaylene, Ariel and Michaela; special caregiver, Linda Sonnabend, extended family and friends.
She was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Ernest James and Florence (Blagdon) Vallis; maternal grandparents, Thomas and Elsie (Strickland) Anderson.
Yvonne graduated George D Lewis High School, Louisbourg in 1981 and attended Nova Scotia Agricultural College. A self taught woman of many talents, Yvonne was equally at home performing mechanical repairs or creating delicious preserves. Yvonne was particularly dedicated to her family. She was an avid gardener, talented seamstress and accomplished quilter until illness prevented her from continuing these passions. She loved chocolate and animals and supported her community through numerous volunteer activities.
Yvonne was fortunate enough to have lived in many different parts of the world including Holy Loch, Scotland; Bangor, Maine; Bear River, N.S.; Norfolk, Virginia; Portland, Oregon and finally Port Angeles, Washington from 1991 until her passing at Crestwood Convalescent Center. Hers was a beautiful life cut too short by MS.
A memorial service celebrating Yvonne’s life will be held at a later date at First United Church in Louisbourg.
Donations may be made at anytime to a charity of one’s choice.
