We knew Yvonne briefly, but the time we shared we shall never forget. Especially including my daughters Maddy and Makenzie in the family tradition of making Christmas cookies. And for me the few conversations we had together were vary humerous. We are thankful for the time we did have with you. You were great and we will miss you.... GOD BLESS and we know he will

Yvonne was quite an accomplished woman, Chuck! I can easily understand why you were attracted to her. I am sorry for your loss. Your children and grandchildren will become even dearer to you.

Dear Chuck, Sherry and Scott —
Yvonne Spies was a true original: honest, dedicated, hard-working, truth-telling, loyal and generous to her family, her friends and her ideals. The way she chose to depart from this life was also very much the stuff one would expect of Yvonne. She was comfortable in her own decisions and above all, wished to encumber no one else with what she would consider her own very personal, private concerns.
Those of us who had the good fortune to know her can truly say we met an authentic human being and were graced by her life and her actions. Her legacy of kindness and warmth is one that we all can emulate as we walk down our own life paths. Thank you for sharing her with us. Please accept these condolences sent with sincere sympathy and much love.

Chuck -
I knew Yvonne through the Ladies' Golf Club. I so enjoyed her always, she did so many special things for so many people. She once made me a trophy to celebrate my almost-hole in one. I still have it displayed in our family room.
The golf club will miss her tremendously. She was a remarkable lady.

To Chuck and the rest of the family.
Yvonne will be missed. Dave and I are sorry for your loss.
I will think of her the next time I play golf. Maybe she can help me out with a shot or two.
All our best to you and yours.

I remember the first time I met Yvonne was when she married my uncle Chuck. I was so taken with her charisma. Years later when I was a flight attendant and would layover in Seattle I was able to spend my long layovers with Yvone and Chuck. Yvonne taught me about the ERA, inspire me to register to vote, and

Part 2 Message continued Part 1 is below ... made me laugh. I will long remember her intelligent dialogue, her witty quips, her fight for women's rights, standing up for herself, her tireless energy, and her apple pie. Yvonne, wherever you have ventured, please, know that I am sending you and all those who love you - my endless blessings.

Yvonne has always been a good friend to me ever since I first met her 12 years ago. When ever she answered the phone I always enjoyed a semi lengthy conversation with her before I asked for Chuck. Those chats will be missed.
My best to the Chuck and the family.

Yvonne was one of my very best friends ever. Many times over the years I enjoyed long discussions with her, either with or without our husbands. She had strong opinions about many issues, always wanting the best for others, and expressed them in a way that allowed for and respected different opinions. In fact, she loved opposing views because she loved to debate. She was a natural-born teacher, always doing so in a way that made me (or whoever) learn well and feel good about myself. In golf she was my mentor, being the person who taught me the most about the rules, etiquette, course management, and just to truly love the game. We went on several golf trips together, which I always thoroughly looked forward to and enjoyed. Yvonne also enjoyed many other things, including fishing, which she and Chuck did with John, and John and I loved it when she and Chuck went on a trip to Mexico with us. I'm going to miss her immensely, but it's good to know she's at peace now.

Yvonne and I never played a game of golf. And yet her influence and knowledge of the game have been an integral part of the Nisqually Valley Ladies Golf Club for years. She has been the heart of our Invitational. Her organizational skills and willingness to volunteer (she volunteered Chuck, too) made it a success year after year. Yvonne grinned through it all. She will be missed.

To Chuck and Yvonne's family especially her granddaughter Helen,
How fortunate you are that this remarkable woman shared your lives. She came into my life with the Tacoma Women's Golf Association, and I followed her as Tournament Chairman. Without her help, I could never have done it. She shared her knowledge, her experience and her love with all. Her contribution to TWGA will keep that organization moving smoothly on thru the years. But most of all her love to each and every woman she worked with and golfed with was imeasurable, and shall live in the hearts of all who knew her. We all will treasure our times with Yvonne.
God Bless you all.

I met Yvonne when she moved to Wasington and was a member of the national board of the LWVUS, and got to know her much better when she ran the Olympia legislative office of Planned Parenthood. We lobbied on many of the same issues. She was a delight to know and I especially enjoyed her sense of humor.

Yvonne was a dear and good friend from the time I joined NVLGC 13 years ago. She took me under her wing and being the teacher she was, taught me how to do the different jobs in the club. Whenever I called on her for help, she was always ready to do anything I needed. She was always up for a game of golf at anytime. We spent many enjoyable rounds on the golf course. Her laughter was infectious and to be with Yvonne was always a joy. I will miss her very much. To Chuck and family, God bless.

Dear Chuck, Sherrie, Scott, and Family:
I loved Yvonne. I did and will ever more. I came to know Yvonne on the hill - she lobbying for Planned Parenthood and me reporting on health care issues. We believed in many of the same tenets, philosophies, issues. She became a friend. Yvonne, and you Chuck, became family particularly after I moved to your neck of the woods. You came to be with me in all my important occasions - my marriage, the unveiling of my symbolic and first large scale stained glass window, the grand opening of my studio, my dock completion, my 50th birday. I love you both, and feel from the many stories that you, Scott, Sherrie, and the kids, are all part of my world.
I celebrate her home to an unpained life. I honor her choice of how this end was to be - even if we all would have liked to have been part of it sooner. I love her and her choices, and send you all my unflappable love.
Call on me. My love and support don't end with Yvonne. - Margo

I worked with Yvonne when she was Exec. Dir. of PPAOW. I was the director of the Tacoma/Pierce County PP affiliate. Yvonne cared deeply about women's issues, about choice, and about women with limited incomes. She used a gentle style of persuasion to keep "our" issues in front of legislators. She was well-respected and loved in the Planned Parenthood "family."
My prayers go out to her family.

She was my grandmother!!
She loved Easter. She was always the best at Easter egg hiding. She even hid one we never found. EVER!!!!!! She alway took us to the coolest places in Olympia. She also knew the Capitol buildings better than the tour guides. She also took me to a Supreme Court hearing at the Temple of Justice.
