Obituary of Yvonne Mary Reid
Yvonne Mary Reid (Bedard), a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on October 25, 2024, at the age of 87.
Born on June 30, 1937, in Markstay-Warren, ON, Yvonne was the cherished daughter of Aldé and Aurore Bedard. She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings Priscilla, Virginia, Roy, Alda, Rachel, Avite, Lorraine, and Mary.
Yvonne is survived by her loving husband, Robert Reid, and her beloved children: Robert (Mary) Reid, Michael (Kim) Reid, and Donna (Brian) Leask. She was a doting grandmother to Nicole Reid, Rebecca (Scott) Cook, and Monique (Jean-Marc) ten Holder, and a proud great-grandmother to Blayke and Myles Cook, and Shay ten Holder. She is also survived by her sisters Gloria (Paul) Coté and Lillian Bedard.
Yvonne was a woman of unwavering devotion and love for her family. With a heart full of giving, she took care of others, asking for nothing in return. She was a steadfast companion and the wind beneath her husband’s wings, a constant source of support and encouragement. Her generous spirit touched the lives of many.
She also brought joy to those around her through her many talents and passions. She enjoyed cooking, baking, majestic sunsets, flowers, and gathering her family together for special occasions. She was an avid reader, gardener, loved a good cup of tea, and had an infectious laugh. Her strong hugs, kind heart, and humorous spirit made her a beloved figure. She took great pride in her home, creating a warm and welcoming space for her loved ones. She also had a deep love for children's charity work and her faith.
Yvonne will be deeply missed by her loving family and friends. A memorial service will be held at Colborne St. United Church, 711 Colborne St, London, ON, on Saturday, November 16th, 2024, at 12:00 pm. A reception will follow at the same location. Inurnment will take place privately.
In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation are asked to consider the Canadian Breast Cancer Network or Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario.
