Wyvonne
grew up in the Rincon Valley district of Santa Rosa where her family
lived in the same home on Grove Ave for most of her youth. She attended
Sequoia Elementary, Rincon Valley Jr High and Montgomery High School.
She graduated from Montgomery as part of the class of 1979.
Ever
an outdoor enthusiast, Wyvonne always relished going camping in the
family motorhome. Bodega Bay and Bucks Lake were family favorites, where
she could explore the great outdoors, hike and go fishing. As an adult,
Wyvonne became scuba certified and dove with her husband David.
Being
gifted with a beautiful voice, Wyvonne loved to participate in school
musicals and would continue this interest throughout her life. Wyvonne
eventually sang with the One Heart Choir with the Center for Spiritual
Living Santa Rosa as a Soprano and Alto.
She had an insatiable
curiosity and zest for all life. Animals were always around growing up
i.e dogs and birds (cockatiels). This continued into adulthood with her
flock of chickens, and her pack of poodles. Her love of science began at
an early age when she needed to understand how things worked, which in
turn led her to her determination to be a doctor or surgeon one day. As
life and its curveballs would have it, she married her first husband,
Larry, shortly after high school, and her career was put on hold for a
bit as she moved to Montana. She would eventually go on to be a
registered dental hygienist after returning to California and graduating
from Diablo Valley College in 1994 with her AA. Later in life she went
on to complete her Bachelor's degree at Sonoma State University in 2012.
Wyvonne became a mother at the age of 27 to Lauren, and
eventually bonus mom to Jennifer, Christina, and Brandon after marrying
her beloved husband, David. She was an amazing Aunt to her nieces and
nephews, and a loving grandmother to her grandchildren. Always full of
life and spirit, she went on many adventures around the world with her
family and friends.
Her life celebration will be held on July 8, 2023. Please contact Lauren for more information via email: indesign804@gmail.com
