Obituary of Yvonne Blanche Morison

It is with deep sadness and sorrow that we mourn the passing of Yvonne, beloved wife of Doug Morison, on Friday, May 29, 2009, at the age of 84 years. Yvonne was born on January 20th 1925, in Winnipeg, to Eggar and Olive Arnason. Yvonne created many homes with Doug when called upon throughout her busy life in Edmonton, Houston TX, Woodward, OK, and Calgary. The young and old alike found Yvonne to be smart, witty, charming, and always a great lady. She was fun to be with. She enjoyed her travels, curling, golfing, skiing, and entertaining. Yvonne, the riveter, built Catalina Flying boats during WWII. She turned to banking in Ponoka and then again when her youngest was of school age in Edmonton and later Calgary – always balancing to the penny. She enjoyed many years in the industry before retiring in the 80’s. Yvonne is survived by her husband, Doug, who she was blissfully married to for 60 years and children Glenn (Mary-Jean Henderson), Gaybrielle (Rick Brown), and Gord (Joanne). Gran will be dearly missed by her grandchildren, Siobhan and Janna, Zoë and Zach, and Jacquelyne, Genieve, and Giselle. She will be fondly remembered by her many friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY’S Park Memorial Chapel (5008 Elbow Drive S.W.) on Wednesday, June 3, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
