Yvonne M. Vieira

April 30, 1924 — December 27, 2019

Yvonne M. Vieira, passed away peacefully on December 27, 2019.

Yvonne was born in New Bedford, MA on April 30, 1924 to Joseph and Madeline Fortin.

She had fond memories of working the leather press at a purse factory where she earned the money to buy her favorite hat. She loved to roller skate and taught lesson to service men at the rink. She enjoyed riding her bike and hanging out at the soda shoppe.

She married Fred Vieira and moved to Rochester, NY where she raised their three children. Yvonne worked in the cafeteria at Sibley's, Rochester Telephone and retired as a manager of cafeteria in the Monroe County building on Westfall Road.

Her grandchildren's fondest memories of "grandma with the balls" (not a weird name once you know the story) include: playing with her stash of blocks and cars, doing puzzles, checking out the cookies in the cookie jar, the smell of home made Chex mix and exciting trips to check out the mysteries of the upstairs where our parents slept as kids.

Mom, Grammy, Auntie, sister and friend- you will be truly missed.

Yvonne is predeceased by her husband, Frederick.
She continues her legacy through the family she so loved and bragged about whenever she got the chance.
Her children: Frederick (Mary), Lawrence (Maria), and Elena (Tim) Warner.
Her grandchildren: Marita (Doug) Jones, Sr., Julie Vieira, IHM, Paul (Deborah) Vieira, Sheila (Chris) Cifelli, Denise (Joe) Cabral and Ashley Vieira.
The great grandchildren that were so fortunate to know her: Jared, Lucas, Simon, Scarlett, Corrine, Ava, Logan and Mason.
Her sister Jeanne (Ernie) Bourque, many nieces and nephews in the New Bedford, MA area and good friend, Shirley.
