Sister Yvette was born on May 22, 1930, in Rocanville, SK (Ste Marthe Parish). In 1948 Sister Yvette joined the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. Throughout her religious life, she served in various capacities as teacher, teacher aide, nurse’s aide and school secretary. In recent years, since 1995, Sister Yvette ministered to the people on the Big River (Whitefish) First Nations reserve. Numerous are the students who were touched by Sister Yvette, those in the communities of Duck Lake, Prince Albert (Academy and P.A. Separate Schools), Spiritwood and 24 years in Vawn. Her love for teaching younger children, her dynamism and enthusiasm have reached many who still remember her fondly. Whether she was gardening or on a nature walk, she was often surrounded by children, gently talking with them and teaching them some life skills. Once a teacher, always a teacher…this was Sister Yvette. Sister Yvette was a prayerful woman, a true woman of God, so gentle, compassionate and full of joy. She has lived her motto: “Loved into being, held in Love!” with integrity and faithfulness. One could always sense in her the fire of God’s love and her strong devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She will be missed by her Sisters of the Presentation, her family and all those who knew her. Interment will take place in the Sisters’ Section, South Hill Cemetery.
