Yvonne Burden

Yvonne passed away peacefully, with her family by her side, on August 21, 2026, at the age of 95.

Daughter of the late Percy and Beatrice Beaune.  Beloved wife of the late Norman.  Sister and last surviving sibling of the late Etta, Julie, Bea, Atala, Paul, and Leo.

Loving mother of Norman (Sandy), Susan (Bob), Leonard (Karen), Michael, and Diane (the late Randy).  Cherished grandmother “Nan” of Michelle, Jamie, Carlie, Coco, Kyle, Nick, Jan-Michael, Jeremy, Jesse, Riley, Jessica, and Brandy.  Dear great-grandmother of Ryan, Cody, Hollie, Jackson, Callie, Elle, Ava, Daxton, Karson, Joey, Annie, Charlie, Jonsy, Jordy, Jake, Jed, Atla, John-Michael, Cayden, Preston, Savana, and Jolee; and great-great grandmother of Blake.

Yvonne was kind, loyal and above all, loving to those closest to her.  Family meant everything to her and some of her happiest moments were those spent surrounded by the people she loved.  It wasn’t unusual for her all of kids to show up for Sunday dinners, often with a friend in tow, who was always welcomed.  She had a wonderful way of showing her affection by preparing meals and making sure everyone was well fed.  She was a die-hard fan of all Canadian sports teams, from baseball to curling, you could always hear Nan cheering the Blue Jays or Toronto Maple Leafs on (even through walls).  She was always dressed to the 9’s and ready for an outing.  Her warmth, generosity, and love for her family will be remembered always.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.  Please contact the family for location details.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the nurses and doctors at Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital for the compassionate care Yvonne received.  In memory of Yvonne, donations may be made to Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital.
