On December 21, 1963, she married Wayne Nevins, and they were married for over 61 years. After graduation, she worked for the Tulia School System.

Once back in Tulia, Missy was born in 1969 and then Trey in 1971. Yvonne worked at Taylor and Evans Seed Co. and then at the Texas Department of Transportation. In 2005, Yvonne received the Woman of the Year award for her service to the community. In her retirement, she volunteered for several years.

Yvonne enjoyed painting and crafts and most of all, her family, children, and grandchildren. Yvonne loved the Lord and she and her family attended the Sixth Street Church of Christ and then the Central Church of Christ in Tulia. Yvonne was a prayer warrior and taught her family to place God first in their lives. She also attended as many Bible Studies as possible.

The family recommends memorials be made to the Tulia Central Church of Christ, Tulia Senior Citizens, or a children’s home. The family would especially like to thank Sherri Gaunder for her love and care, who loved Yvonne like family.
