With great sadness, our family announces the passing of Yvonne Anne (Peek) Kendall, on May 4, 2024.

Yvonne was born into a loving homestead family in Zelma, Saskatchewan. She married her cherished husband of nearly seventy years, Gerald, in 1954. She and Gerald raised a family of three sons; they lived in several communities across Western Canada, including forty years in Calgary.

Yvonne's highest priority was her family, those living both near and far. Throughout her life, she held them close to her heart, and showed her love in countless words and deeds. She also cherished time with her friends, as well as a good mystery novel, the ever-present crossword, and enjoying classical music.

Von is survived by her loving husband Gerald, her sons Glenn (Linda) and Peter (Lynn), and her grandson Chris of whom she was immensely proud. She was predeceased in 2012 by her much-loved son Jeff. She will be laid to rest at Eden Brook cemetery; funeral arrangements are pending.

Glenn Kendall, Yvonne's son, shared that his Mum and Dad are life-long Anglicans, and had regularly attended St. Peters for 40 years, often at the Sunday, 8:00am service. Mum's funeral service will take place at St. Mark's Anglican Church in Surrey, B.C. on Saturday, June 8 at 10:30am. All family, friends and acquaintances are welcome.
