Yvonne was born on September 4, 1932 in Weidman, daughter of Leon and Gladys (Carr) McArthur. She married Bernard Pitts on August 12, 1950, in Rosebush.
Yvonne owned and worked at McArthur Insurance Agency in Weidman for 30 years. She was a long-time member of the Gilmore Church of Christ. Yvonne served as their financial secretary and pianist and hosted many guest speakers and missionaries.
Yvonne and Bernie enjoyed traveling and made lifelong friendships. They also loved spending winters in Florida. What Yvonne enjoyed the most was being a homemaker, wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved her family, and if you know her well, cleaning the house was a close second. Although she did not particularly enjoy cooking, she was a great cook.
Yvonne is survived by children, Cheryl (Paul) Barbour; Janet (Ken) Seymour; Darryl (Bonnie) Pitts; and Darcy (Hope) Pitts; son-in-law, David (Carla) Wood; 14 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; 1 great-great-grandchild; and many nieces and nephews.
Yvonne was preceded in death by her husband, Bernard; daughter, Mona Marie Wood; son, Timothy Paul Pitts; son-in-law, Ronald Lee Apple; granddaughter, Joy Lynnai Wood; great- granddaughter Selah Brielle Apple, and brothers, Leighton, Mitchell, Gerald, Leon Junior, and Stuart.
