Yvonne was born to Charles and Elsie French (Reed) on Sept. 29, 1943 in Eastbourne, England. Yvonne moved from Seven Oaks, England to the United States when she was 17 years old. She worked at Ormco Corp. which is where she met her best friend, Janice Anglesey; and later on she worked at Walmart. Yvonne and her late husband, Buck Staley, enjoyed many years of retirement together in Lake Havasu. She enjoyed dancing, concerts, traveling, the lake, and many years of bunko. She was also a member of the Eagles Club, the Elks Club, the Yacht Club and the American Legion. Yvonne cherished time spent with her family and friends, and was exceptionally close to her son, Eric. The love she displayed as a mother and grandmother was unwavering. She was a lady of great faith, had a kind, loving heart and was loyal to no fault. She went with the flow of things and brought her spunky personality, fun and laughter into all situations. Her smile was simply contagious. In her last year of life, she traveled to Colorado, Sturgis, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Laughlin, Las Vegas, Disneyland, Mount Rushmore, and Mexico, which was a testament to her adventurous personality. Yvonne is preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Elsie French, brother Doug French, sister Valerie French, and her late husband Buck Staley.
