Golden age portrait of lovely Yvonne who is 82.
Yvonne was also a nurse who had to live at the nurse quarters to be able to complete her training. She likened the experience to being in a convent. She continued her nursing career well into her 50's.
Yvonne has 3 sons, 14 grandchidren, & 5 great grandchildren. She said she gets to see them often, & loves spending time with them.
Yvonne sadly lost her Husband 17 years ago. He was a Police Sargeant, & at the time was the longest serving Police officer recorded at 39 years service.
Yvonne's mother lived to 104 years old! although Yvonne told me she doesn't plan on breaking that record.
She bought some beautiful photos taken of her during her nursing, then debutante ball, & then wedding. The hand painted prints are just so magical to hold & admire.. They certainly have stood the test of time.
Thanks Yvonne for modelling for me, & letting me share your story.
