By the time she was 14 she had a steady, Lynn Austin Wright, who eventually became her eternal companion when they were married on 22 Feb 1963 in the Manti temple. This union was blessed with 3 wonderful children, Lynn Marcel (Jaclynn Marr), Danielle Burgess and Cordell Bevan (Lecia Arthur).

Yvonne was a talented poet and enjoyed crafting in many forms. She loved music and made it an important part of her life. But her greatest love and joy was her family. She was a graduate of Stevens-Henager School of Business and used the skills she developed to serve her family and her community.

After retiring from Utah State University, she and Lynn were called to the Canada, Montreal (French Speaking) mission where they served for eighteen months. After they returned from their mission they enjoyed traveling. Her most memorable trips were following the church history trail from Palmyra to Salt Lake City and a five week trip to Alaska.

Yvonne is survived by her husband, children, brother, 11 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She is preceded in death by her parents, sister and three grandchildren.
