YVONNE HELENE KEHLER
Date of Passing: Jan 27, 2016
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryYVONNE HELENE (PARKER) KEHLER Yvonne Kehler passed away peacefully January 27, 2016 at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, with her family by her side. Yvonne was the daughter of the late Charlotte and James Potter, the sister of the late Bob Parker of Winnipeg, and was married for over 60 years to Dennis Leroy Kehler, who predeceased her in 2013. Yvonne was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt who will be missed by her children, Janice (Brian) Leonard of Spruce Grove, AB; Shelley (Bob) Prpich of White Rock, BC; Judy McGarry of Winnipeg; Diane (Allan) Kutryk of Winnipeg; Bruce (Kim) Kehler of Neenah, WI; Brenda (Mike) Bravener of Fredericton, NB and Jacquie (Ken) Walsh of Ancaster, ON. Yvonne is also survived by her 17 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, her sister-in-law Marianne Parker, and her four children. Our mother will always be remembered by those that knew her for her smile, her quick wit, her love for music and ability to somehow always win at penny slots. The family also wishes to thank the doctors and nurses at St. Boniface Hospital for their loving and compassionate care that was given to our mother while in their care. In lieu of flowers, the family would encourage a donation to The Arthritis Society of Manitoba, or a charity of your choosing. A memorial service will be held at a future date to be announced by the family.

Yvonne was a wonderful friend. We shared a love of music & reading. We would often exchange books. If I had a problem she would be the first person I would go to for sound advice. She had the brightest smile with a twinkle in those blue eyes. We would talk at least every 2-3 days about everything & anything. She had the kindest heart & was so compassionate about others. I miss her dearly but am thankful she no longer suffers. - Posted by: Carole Clark (Friend) on: Feb 04, 2016

I first met Yvonne and Dennis when I lived at Hillside Beach many, many years ago. Then, to my surprise, she moves into the same apartment block that I live in. It was always like "old home week" when we got together remembering life at the beach. She was a darling, petite woman with a smile that went on forever. She will be greatly missed. I am sure she is smiling down at us with Dennis by her side. - Posted by: Judy D Stutzke (Friend) on: Jan 31, 2016

What a beautiful woman! Hair curled, dressed in stylish clothes, eyes sparkling blue as she smiled to greet us for a lunch visit; but it was her inner beauty that shone through most! Yvonne had so much love to give and as she shared stories of her youth I grew to love her more and more. Arthritis may have slowed her physically but not her quit wit and sharp mind! So much personality packed into her petite frame! My life is sweeter because of her. - Posted by: Michelle allaire (Friend) on: Jan 30, 2016

I will always remember her sense of humour and her lack of filter. She always had a funny story to tell and she enjoyed entertaining everyone around. I will never forget her seemingly endless supply of jewelry and snacks! She will forever be missed. - Posted by: Maiya Bravener (Grand Daughter) on: Jan 30, 2016

She was an incredible mother, a fantastic grandmother and great grandmother! She was very caring, and thought very highly of her family. She adored them all! She will be missed by so many people here in the maritimes where she had a great impact on a number of women through song and the sharing of her walk of faith. His eye is on the sparrow and I know He's watching Yvonne, trying to find a good place in the heavenly choir - Posted by: Mike Bravener (Son In Law) on: Jan 30, 2016

I babysat Yvonne's children in Churchill when I was a young girl. She was like a second Mom to me and when my Mom was out she always kept an eye out on me. She introduced me to Nanaimo bars which are still a favorite treat! I have thought of her often over the years and all the kids too. I am so sorry for your loss, I remember a truly lovely lady. - Posted by: Donna Scibak (friend) on: Jan 30, 2016
