Yvonne Evans Webb

Yvonne Evans Webb was born on August 11, 1935, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Helen and James T. Evans. She passed away peacefully with family members by her side the morning of January 3, 2025, in Sugar Land, TX at the age of 89.

In her early years, her father's position in the Army Air Corp resulted in the family being located in Columbus, Mississippi, as well as Sebring and Ft. Meyers Florida. The family eventually settled in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1948. She spent her teenage years attending C.E. Byrd High School where she met John Webb. They were married on August 26 ,1956. She completed two years of college at Louisiana Tech until leaving to acquire a job as an administrative assistant to support her husband through his remaining years at LSU. In 1959 after her husband's graduation from college and service in the US Army, the family moved to the Houston area where they have lived ever since.

Yvonne was renowned as an excellent cook and her ability as a seamstress was remarkable. Always a talented and avid gardener, she became a certified Master Gardener and always enjoyed helping others have better success. She had an excellent sense of fashion and style and partnered with her sister Kathleen in an interior decorating and design business for many years. The annual family beach gatherings at Pensacola Beach, Florida took place over fifty years. Those trips were always something she looked forward to and where her family enjoyed her famous crab cakes and fried soft shell crabs.

Yvonne was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her unending love and full dedication to her family and all who knew her will be remembered, respected, and cherished always. She was a devout Christian and active in supporting her church. She also generously supported various philanthropic events and causes.

She was preceded in death by her parents Helen and James Evans; her siblings Kathleen Kempe and Lynn Alterman; and her daughter Susan Webb Kolkmeier.
