Yvonne Boswell Desjardins passed away at home on Tuesday August 11, 2020.  Born in Windsor on November 1, 1960, Yvonne was one of six children of the late Joe & Patricia Desjardins and is survived by her sister Joanne Desjardins (Rob Leroux) and her brothers Terry & Cynthia Desjardins and Tom & Michelle Desjardins.  She was predeceased by her sister Pam Kimmerly and her brother John Desjardins.

Sometimes people are fortunate enough in life to meet someone who is a perfect match…someone who shares the same interests and passions in life; someone who becomes a soul mate and a trusted confidant.  That’s the way it was when Yvonne met her best friend and companion, Henry Boswell.  Together they made a lifetime of memories in the years they had together.  Yvonne worked hard and lived well.  She was a horticulturist who loved the outdoors and everything that it had to offer.  She had a keen wit and a contagious laugh that would light up a room.  She loved animals (especially her dog Hattie) and she loved hunting and she loved fishing whenever she could and wherever she could.  She was the daughter in law of Gloria and John Boswell.

Above anything else in life, Yvonne was the number one Mom and number one fan to the two people who reached deeper into her heart than anyone could; her daughter Tricia (Dave Durocher) and her son Joe McLellan (Brittany Rochel).  She would have gone to the end of the world for both of them.  She was so happy and so proud to become the Grandmother of Riley, Zoe and Ava, and she was looking forward to meeting her newest grandson Emerson who was born on Monday.

Yvonne’s family will remember her both privately and at a service officiated by Pastor Ken McCorkell.  Friends wishing to honour her life with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Pet & Wildlife Rescue or the Cancer Society.

I don't know what drew me to check on Yvonne's facebook page. I had not seen any posts from her in many years, but had heard from her sister JoAnne last year that she was ill. Yvonne and I went to St. Jule's Grade School together. I am very saddened to hear of her passing and will always remember the fun times we had. Rest in Peace Fifi. My condolences to the family.

Henry & families I am so sorry to hear about Yvonne. I had the pleasure of working with her at Ridgetown College. I loved her sense of humour & her great laugh. We had lots of conversations about our kids & of course wine. The last time I saw her was when a coworker & I went for a visit to see her when she had a short stay at the village. She was so happy to see us & we were to see her. When she became sick the girls In our office missed her daily visits. She was always in our thoughts & prayers. R.I.P. Yvonne You will be missed.
