Yolande was born in Kelvington, SK, but moved to The Pas, MB, at an early age. It was there that she met and married the love of her life, Elmer. Shortly after marriage, the couple moved to Thompson, MB, where they raised their three children. Yolande was a stay at home mom for many years. Upon going back to work, Yolande juggled family, career and education, with the emphasis on family. Yolande proudly obtained her CGA designation. Yolande and Elmer both worked for Inco in Thompson and retired from there in 1992 to start the next chapter in their lives as resort owners. They spent nine exciting summers operating the Betula Lake Resort while living out their dream of travelling in the winters. Shortly after retiring from the resort in 2002, Yolande became ill. Yolande was predeceased by her son Robert, parents Gabriel and Rose Dube, parents in-law Ken and Molly Bigelow, nephew Jason Neskar, brother-in-law Ray Bigelow, sisters-in-law, Marie Bigelow and Trudy Dube.

I have pleasant memories of working with Yolande in the Inco Accounting department during the early eighties. I remember her as a hard working fun co-worker. May God grant you comfort in your time of grieving. - Posted by: Grant Morrison (Co-Worker) on: Feb 21, 2008
