Marguerite “Yvonne” Wilson, 97, Gas City, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at 6:35 pm on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. She was born in Ghlin, Belgium, on Tuesday, November 1, 1927, to Maurice and Madeleine (Thomas) Dauge.
Yvonne met her loving husband, Charles, in Mons, Belgium while he was serving in the United States Air Force. They married in 1945. Yvonne came to the United States in 1946 aboard the Santa Paula to join her husband in Gas City, and she became a citizen of the United States of America in 1951. Yvonne was an excellent cook and had worked for several years at RJ Baskett Middle School making lunch for the children. She sewed, knitted, and crocheted often, and the number of “nana hats” and blankets she made was endless. Yvonne volunteered for her church, the Girl Scouts, and in anything in which her daughters were involved. Yvonne experienced much over the 97 years that God had blessed her with. She touched the lives of many with her energetic spirit and will be missed dearly.
