Yvonne Claire Whitehouse sadly passed away on June 6th 2023 after a brave 10-year battle with a dementia ending Alzheimer’s. Yvonne was in her 87th year being born in Winnipeg December 8th 1935. Yvonne was the middle sister to predeceased Loraine (Olynyk) and Dianne (Olivier) and parents Fredrick and Kathryn Kuxhaus,

Yvonne was the beloved wife of Peter Whitehouse for just one week short of 68 years. Together they raised three children, Cindy Gaye (Harvey), Blair Peter and Scott Timothy Whitehouse. As a grandmother to Brennan and Jodi Harvey, and Nicole and Beverly Whitehouse, Yvonne was always full of joy and adoration for her grandchildren. Her loving spirit extended even further when she became a great grandmother to Theo and Cora Harvey.

Yvonne and Peter met at a Saturday night dance at the Winnipeg YMCA. The next date on Halloween1953 was an unplanned movie that turned out to be more than sentimental memories. The movie was called “From Here to Eternity”, which foretold their wonderful life together.

After graduating from West Kildonan Colligate, Yvonne worked in the Grain Insurance and Affiliated Inspection Bureau Office until after she married Peter and started a family. Later in life, with the family all grown up and moving to Mississauga Ontario, Yvonne retired after spending the next 28-years working in the Square One Shopping Centre Executive Office.

Yvonne will always be remembered as one who brought warmth and love to everybody around her and we take solace in knowing that, even though she is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in the memories of those who knew her. She will be deeply missed, but the legacy of love and hope will live on in our memory of her.

We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to the nursing staff and doctors at Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga who provided exceptional understanding, compassion and kindness throughout her palliative care. Cremation has taken place.

Yvonne’s Memorial Service and Inurnment will be held at 2pm to 4pm on Saturday June 17th 2023 at Meadowvale Cemetery Mississauga. The family invite you to join them in remembering and celebrating the life of our beloved Yvonne. There will be a Reception after the Funeral. Details will be provided at the Ceremony.
