Yvonne Marie Schatz:
On April 4th, 2013 Yvonne Marie Schatz lost her courageous battle with cancer. She was born April 2nd, 1951 in Humboldt, SK and had just celebrated her 62nd birthday two days earlier. After completing her high school education she attended Saskatoon Business College and started her life long career in the insurance field. It was here that she met her life partner Garry Schatz. Shortly after they relocated to Terrace B.C. where they were married February 17th, 1984. Within a few years they moved to Grand Forks, B.C. where Yvonne was employed with Dave Dale Insurance and became office manager. She truly enjoyed her job and all the people she had the privilege of working with. Yvonne was an avid crafter always knitting or crocheting, creating beautiful sweaters or scarves for her nieces who proudly wore them. She enjoyed her jazzercise classes and met numerous people who shared her passion for the workout and they soon became lifelong friends. Yvonne leaves behind her loving husband and soul mate of 29 years Garry: stepdaughters Danielle and Darci; grandsons Ryder and Zachary; parents Dolores and Arnold Mueller; brother Glenn (Carrie); sisters Sandra Engele (Tom); Denise Silzer (Mark) and numerous nieces and nephew. Yvonne was involved with the local chapter of the Cancer Society as a treasure and in lieu of flowers a memorial donation may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society "Relay for Life". She has completed the final leg of her lifelong journey but her infectious giggle, dazzling smile and truly caring nature will be lovingly remembered but sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. A celebration of Life took place at the Grand Forks Funeral Home on Thursday April 11, 2013 at 12:00. A Memorial Funeral Mass was held at St. Augustine's Church, Tuesday, April 16th in Humboldt celebrated by Father Ephraim Mensah.
