    Amanda and your extended family. Condolences to you all on the passing of your loving mother, grandmother, daughter and sister. I have known your mom for many years when she worked at Teachers Payroll Division in St. Johns. Always joyful and upbeat. It was only a couple of weeks I got to talk to her and we had planned a dinner date. I am so shocked. Treasure all the memories you have of her. May she rest in peace. God Bless you all and stay safe.

    Yvonne was more than just my Manager, she was a very close friend. I will miss our daily chats where we tackled all things work related but always found time to have a yarn and a laugh. I will miss our evening and weekend text messages where we exchanged pictures of what we were eating and funny TikTok videos. I will miss her sense of humour and larger than life personality that lifted me up every day. Those who knew her, loved her, she truly was one of a kind. There will never be another Yvonne❤️. To Amanda and her family, I am sorry for your loss. Rest easy Yvonne❤️❤️

    Condolences to Yvonne’s family on the loss of your loved one. Yvonne was a co-worker of mine at the College as well as my neighbor on Lakeview Drive. She was a hard working and fun loving person She gave me rides to work for a few weeks when we first met. We had many a conversation and quite a few laughs during those rides to and from work. Yvonne had personal strength and character to be admired and which helped her get through her illness many years ago before moving up to Stephenville. God bless you all in your time of loss.

    We were so saddened to hear of Yvonne’s passing. I worked with her at the Provincial Libraries Board and she certainly positively contributed to the office environment and was always willing to lend a sympathetic ear. We shared many stories and laughs and I especially looked forward to a treat from her candy jar. My condolences to her family, friends and work colleagues.

    To the family and colleagues of Yvonne. The news of her passing was such a shock to everyone. She will be missed by those who have had the pleasure to meet or to talk to her and to share in a few chuckles. I always looked forward to having a chat and a few laughs with Yvonne on every occasion that she and I spoke on the phone or at the college. It is with the deepest of sadness that we have to say goodbye, but let’s reminisce and cherish the thoughts that we have of such a remarkable lady. We have lost a very dear friend, and heaven has gained one terrific person. May God bless all those who will carry a heavy heart because of Yvonne’s unexpected passing.

    I was so very saddened to hear of Yvonne’s passing. Yvonne was my mentor when I began my career with the Provincial Libraries Board. Not only was she my supervisor, but in many ways she was a surrogate mother. We shared many a breakfast and/or lunch and she shared many stories of her beloved family.

    My deepest condolences to Ruby, Amanda, and the other members of the Barrington family. Yvonne will always be fondly thought of and remembered by those whose lives she touched.
