We Remember
KING, Yvonne
January 1, 1970 — January 1, 1970
With sadness in our hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Yvonne Beryl King at Sutherland Hills Rest Home on November 28, 2016. Yvonne was born on July 30, 1933 in Scott, Saskatchewan to her parents Florence and Ralph Waldo. She was the 4th child (Dorothy, Enid, Ruth, Lenore, Garfield) into the Waldo family. She is survived by her son Cory King (Meghan) and two grandchildren Isabelle and Liam King of Calgary, AB.
Yvonne married the love of her life Murray King on July 6, 1954 and was blessed to shared 50 countless years together before Murray passed away at the age of 75 (2004). After 23 years of marriage Yvonne welcomed the birth of her only child, Cory King and became a full-time housewife and mother.
Yvonne was a kind and caring person who always wanted to provide a helpful hand. She loved to visit with friends and family while enjoying some of her fantastic homemade baked cookies, pies, or buns. She was a devoted mother, who made it her life’s passion to always ensure her son was loved. Family meant everything to her and her love was unconditional always putting herself last.
Family will be having their own private gathering in memory of Yvonne. Internment took place at Kelowna Cemetery, where she was buried with Murray on December 6, 2016.

Dear Cory and family
I am so sorry reading of the loss of your Mom. I so enjoyed her company thru the years. I’m sorry I didn’t know she was in Sutherland hills, I certainly would have visited. How very excited she was with her first grandchild, and now I see there is two. So very very proud she was of you, and rightfully so. My thoughts and prayers are with you sandy xxo
