Yvonne Jean Wiliams was born May 13, 1957, in Burley, Idaho to Carol Jean Williams and Richard Arthur Williams. She was the second of four children, two sisters and one brother.
Yvonne completed her education in Blackfoot Idaho. She got married and moved to Texas where she had two children, Sean, and Carolee. After moving back to Montana, she began working for her mother, Carol Williams, at the Flyaway Café for over 20 years where she became an amazingly skilled waitress. After the closure of the Flyaway Café, she obtained her CNA and began working at nursing homes with the elderly and in group homes with children where she was able to show her care and compassion to those she looked after.
Sadly, Yvonne lost her battle with cancer after a long and courageous fight. She was preceded in death by her father, Richard Williams; her stepfather, Curt Bierwagen, who brought her so much joy; her sister, Dawn (Williams) Porter.
She is survived by her mother, Carol Williams; her siblings, Kathy (Williams) Bienz, Todd Williams (Sue); her stepbrother, Doug Bierwagen (Ruth), their children Johnny, Nicholas and Ricky; her children Sean Newcomb (Suzy), Carolee Irvin (Cory); her grandchildren Seanna Irvin, Skyler Stenlund, and Addison (Fortune) Stenlund; her nephews Ken Masse Jr. (Tiffany), Christopher Masse (Therese), Bridger Williams, Dillon Williams and her most favorite great nephew, Dominick Masse.

Very sorry for your loss. Death is, of course, a natural part of life, but it is always hard. All we can do is focus on the good memories of our lost loved ones and the times past when they were full of life. We hold you in our thoughts.
