I would love to share a story of a young lady visiting me days ago, the conversation was about persons who
had an impact on our lives and she mentioned Yvonne,s name to me, not knowing Yvonne, she shared little
details that Yvonne gave to her to make her the woman she is today, then noticing tear drop off her cheek.
Lovely to see there are alot of good people in this world to take their time to mentor the youth and guide
them onto a much more productive life.May Yvonne RIP Sincere wrfisher

Condolences to Yvonne's family. I worked with Yvonne at the City of Saint John for many years. She was a beautiful person, always caring for the youth and those less fortunate.

I was saddened to learn of Yvonne’s passing and extend heartfelt sympathies and condolences to her family and friends. I first met Yvonne in 1987 when I was hired by the City as the Cultural Affairs Officer and was part of the Recreation Department. We attended many meetings together and I always found her to be such a caring and sincere lady. I will never forget her smile and the good conversations we had. My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones as they reflect on her life and her many contributions.
Most sincerely,

I will always remember Yvonne as a carrying unselfish person. Her sense of duty towards her position as South End Community Director was exceptional. Her love of the people of her neighborhood was reflected in the love returned to her by those same people. A special recognition also to her son Stephen Who shared many of his mother’s values and who I remember fondly during his tenure as an outstanding athlete while attending Saint John High School.
Sincerely Jack Brownell, teacher & coach SJHS, and past Recreation Director,City of Saint John

I waited on her in the City Market. We had difficult customers and we had angels that would make your day. She was a market angel who flew in and left everybody smiling and happy. Now she is with Jesus flying around and doing what she did best. My condolences to her family. She was a shining jewel in the crown of life. Terry parker

I remember Mrs.Lee as a great advocate for the children in the South End . Also she always gave out good cookies. I had the privilege of tending to Mrs.Lee at the CKL home these past years .Upon her arrival she couldn’t wait to tell everyone (staff and residents) that she knew me since I was a little freckle faced redheaded baby .We enjoyed some good conversation over this time. My deepest condolences to Brenda and her family.Thoughts and Prayers ❤️❤️❤️

Yvonne was the kindest, sweetest and friendliest woman in town. She was my godmother. She cared for and loved me and was always there for my mom and I after my dad passed away in 1988.
She was loving, caring, understanding, honest and would do anything for someone else in their time of need. I used to go to the community centre every day for lunch and id go there every evening. My mom volunteered there and I always enjoyed seeing Yvonne.
I hadn't spoken with her in many years but one thing is accurate. I loved her! She was amazing. I will always remember her and will never stop loving her.
In honour of her, I feel they should rename the community centre after her; The Yvonne Lee Community Center, to forever show her the love and respect she earned and deserves for all the wonderful things she has done for the families of Saint John.
R.I.P. My sweet angel.. I love you! Dance with the angels...
Love,
Kim

This amazing women was always my second Mom from the time we met over 55 years ago. He daugher Judy and I were best friends and shortly after Brenda an I became good friends (to this day we call each other brother and sister. Although I haven't seen Mom in awhile she was never far from my mind. Mrs Lee was know as the mother of South end taking on many challenges most wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. Everyone in the south end knew if they needed anything or got into any trouble, you could always go to her for help and she would be there. Saint John lost a great one today. Rest in peace Mom you deserve it. Xo
