YVONNE B. RENNERFELDT MAGILL was born to Carl Ellory and Gladys (Johnson) Rennerfeldt, October 22, 1934, in Oakland, Nebraska.  She entered into eternal rest May 25, 2009, at Oakland Mercy Hospital in Oakland after suffering a stroke.  She bravely fought rheumatoid arthritis for almost 30 years. 

She grew up in Oakland with sisters Janice, Shirley and Bev, and brother Harley.  She received her education in Oakland and graduated from Oakland High School with the class of 1952. 

On June 10, 1967 she was married to Robert A. Magill in Tekamah, with Harley and Elaine Rennerfeldt as witnesses.  She lived in the Tekamah area with her family her entire life. 

Yvonne was the Head Teller for First National Bank which later became Nebraska National Bank for 32 years.  In her retirement she also traveled with Bob delivering and picking up vehicles for Woodhouse Ford, and would often be seen helping out at the Cardinal Bar in Herman with their son, Dan.

She was active in the bowling leagues in Lyons and Tekamah, attending many state tournaments.  She loved family and friends.  She was noted for telling stories and could always be counted on for a good joke.   Her favorite activities included many Yahtzee, Bingo and card games, and coffee times with family and friends.  She enjoyed attending the horse and dog races, and trips with family and friends to the casinos to play the nickel slot machines.  She was active and supportive in her children’s, and then grandchildren’s activities.  The weekend before her stroke she attended graduation celebrations for two of her grandchildren.

Yvonne was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Bev.
