Yvonne Williams, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on December 7th, 2024.

Born on January 24, 1937, in Pennsylvania, Yvonne lived a full life filled with love, laughter, and a touch of mischief. She earned a master’s degree in library science in 1959 from Marywood University but ultimately dedicated her life to her family.

Yvonne was a woman of many passions. She loved taking Sunday drives, sewing, and dining out.  She took the motto “Eat desert first” as a mandate for life.

A true child at heart, Yvonne adored spending time with children, especially her grandchildren.  As an avid reader she was particularly drawn to whodunit mysteries though her detective skills were mediocre.  Yvonne was a spirited individual who cherished her independence.  She loved the challenge of crossword puzzles and playing along with TV game shows.

Yvonne was preceded in death by her parents, sister, husband Richard Williams, and son Christopher. She is survived by her children: Kevin, Martha Laura, and Paul; her six grandchildren; and her ten great-grandchildren.

Family and friends are invited to attend a period of visitation on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 from 10:30am to 11:30am at St. Anne’s Parish 26 Emerson Ave. Hampstead, NH. A Funeral Mass will follow at 11:30. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made in Yvonne’s name to Birthright in Derry, NH at Birthright.org/donate. Private burial is scheduled for Friday.

Local arrangements are under the care of the Kevin K. Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 125 N. Main Ave., Scranton.
