Yvette was the beloved wife of Al Matheson of Winnipeg, MB, currently residing in Calgary, AB. Born in 1939 in Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan, Yvette lived most of her life in Winnipeg. Yvette is lovingly remembered by her four children Michele (husband Randy), Dean, Sher and Loree and grandchildren, Angela, Cara, Kevin, Tianna, Samantha, Dominic, Ariel and Tanyon. Yvette, Al and their children lived for many years in Fort Garry and made many friends in the community. Mom devoted her life to her children and grandchildren. Nothing made her happier than having her family all together to talk, laugh, or play a rousing game of Buzzword. She was very athletic in her younger days and enjoyed team sports such as slow-pitch and curling. 'You're in the arms of the Angels; may you find some comfort here'. A celebration of Yvette's life will take place in Winnipeg on Sunday, February 17 at 1:00 p.m. Please call 403-241-9854 for further information Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society are gratefully accepted.

So sorry to hear about your mom's passing. You mentioned that her illness was terminal, but it still seems sudden. Our prayers are with you always. Take care and we will keep in touch. - Posted by: Murray and Debby Gibson (Friend) on: Feb 14, 2013

Yvette thanks for all the board games at your place (are you sure you didn't cheat??), and the grand Christmas meals. My stomach still hurts from the potato eating contest. You will be missed, a great and fun lady. - Posted by: Jeff Fitchett (Son-in-Law (Ex)) on: Feb 13, 2013

Yvette, you were such a good neighbour, my best friend and my confidant. We met later in life so our history together was limited in that respect but no less endearing. I admire so much about you; your sense of humour; your insightful opinions; your quick mind and that incredible memory, so evident in your love of music, lyrics and artists. We shared the same tastes in music and so you provided me with my daily listening pleasure of favored oldies. We sure laughed a lot didn't we? We shopped a lot and we talked non-stop. You never judged. When ill health slowed me down, you didn't lose interest in our outings. You were a true friend. When I moved away, we kept in touch daily either via email, mega hours on the telephone and little gifts to bridge the miles, though I believe the most valuable gift one can give another, is the precious gift of time and that gift Yvette, you gave so generously to me. Thank you. Your journey leaves a great void I will fill with the joyful recollections of our times together. I will never forget you dear friend. - Posted by: Priscilla Savas (Friend) on: Feb 12, 2013

So long my dear friend. We had wonderful fun times together. We sang and danced with the little ones in our Nursery School. We learned to dance the tango on figure skates. You made a statue of Al running in pottery class. We shopped, ate, painted and sewed just for fun. You will live on forever in the hearts and souls of your family and friends. Love Betty and Bruce. - Posted by: Betty Jackson and Bruce Smith (Best friend) on: Feb 11, 2013
