In memory of

Yvonne Marie Sjonnesen

April 3, 1947 -  January 27, 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Yvonne Sjonnesen. We would like to invite friends and family to celebrate the life of this beautiful woman that was creative, passionate, energetic, adventurous and lived life on her terms. She had many successful endeavors throughout her life but in the end found her true calling as an talented Artist. This is where she could share the true beauty of her soul and passion with us all. It will be no surprise to anyone that knew her that she fought right to the very end. She went peacefully and comfortably in the company of loved ones. She is survived by a small family but also leaves behind an amazing group of friends that she cherished deeply.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Oakville Humane Society in honour of Yvonne would be appreciated by the family.

I will always remember Yvonne's smile and her fun loving laughter. She most certainly did live life on her terms and was a wonderful friend to all who knew her.

I knew Yvonne when we were young teenagers. Yvonne was a fun, adventurous and friendly soul. My thoughts are with Yvonne's family. God will take good care of her now.

From when we met at Mimico High School in 1963 we have always been friends. We laughed and enjoyed each other’s company. Our lives took different paths, but when our paths crossed there was no distance of time. I cherished the kindness that Yvonne often showed me, from support when I was down, to support when my dog died. We still have 2 cats that Yvonne helped us adopt. I will miss her. Thank you for the time we shared, love Louise

I met Yvonne through my friend, Freda Sedore. She was a very sweet, caring person and enjoyed life. Only having known her so briefly, I was happy that our paths crossed. So sorry for your loss but am glad the family came together at the end.
