In Yolanda’s teen years, she attended St. Brigid Pacific Heights elementary school and then Balboa High School. As a young girl, she and her family spent their summers in Forest Knolls, CA. This is where she met her future husband, Elwin.
Yolanda spent many years volunteering her time at St. Raphael’s School office, rectory and library. More recently she spent many hours volunteering at her Grandchildren’s schools in Petaluma.

She enjoyed sewing, reading, gardening and loved having annual picnics at Samuel Taylor Park with family and friends.
