Yvonne Marilyn Larsen passed away on January 19, 2025, at the age of 90. She was born on August 20, 1934, to Clarence Mertes and Arla Alford (Lydy) in Burke County, ND.
Yvonne spent the majority of her childhood in Springfield, OR. This is where she met her first husband and the father of her children, Samuel W. Shaw. They were married in Springfield, OR and stayed together until the death of Sam after 34 years of marriage. Sam was in the Air Force where they traveled around to Washington State, Goose Bay, Labrador Canada, Arizona and Texas. Upon retirement from the Air Force, the family moved to Southern CA to be close to Sams Family. They lived in Huntington Beach where the children completed their education.
Yvone was a homemaker all her life. Upon Sams death she moved back to Springfield, OR to be with her mother. She joined the Salvation Army and was a Soldier and the Home League Secretary for many years. She eventually met the love of her life, Martin Larsen. They were married until Martins death. They were completely inseparable. Yvonne went to live with her middle daughter in Plymouth, CA where she passed away.
Yvonne and Sam had four children, James Paul (Jimmy) who died at birth, Velora Lee (Vikki) Weber who lives in Texas, Donna Jean (Aaron) Jackson of Plymouth, CA and Samuel Roy Shaw (Sandi) in Washington. Yvonne had 9 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren (with 1 more on the way) and 4 great great grandchildren with 1 on the way.
Donna was her caregiver for the past 10 years. Hospice helped in the care in the past month.
The family is requesting that donations in Yvonne’s name be sent to the Salvation Army or Hospice of Amador. A graveside Memorial will take place this summer in Springfield, OR where Martin has been waiting.
