Yvette was born on September 1, 1941 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Florence English and Harold English.  She graduated high school in Hawaii, then moved to Southern California at 19 years old.  She married Theodore Elness in 1961 and had four children. She was a former sorority member of Beta Sigma Phi and held many titles in the Order of the Eastern Star chapters.

Her kindness, generosity, and laughter will be missed by her friends and family.

A celebration of Yvette’s life will be held at a later time.
