She graduated from Seven Mile High School in 1950. On December 10, 1954, she married Don Lesher. They enjoyed almost 42 years of marriage until his passing on September 22, 1996. Reading her bible was very important to Yvonne and she delighted in discussing its various topics with fellow believers. Yvonne was a sports fan and she enjoyed watching her favorite sports teams, Ohio State and the Green Bay Packers and the University of Kentucky basketball. Yvonne loved spending time with her special neighborhood friends Anita, Joy and Wanda. She also looked forward to her daily conversations with her mail carrier friends John, Josh and Kayla, and receiving her weekly cards from her friend Ruth Ann.
