Yvonne was born in London, England, to Colin and Annie Davenport (nee Rudd) in 1939, and grew up in Oxford, England. She graduated from Milham Ford High School and worked at Westminster Bank in Oxford. In 1961 she made her way to Canada, where she worked with the Bank of Nova Scotia in Toronto. It was at Scotiabank that she met the love of her life and future husband Ray Tripp. Ray passed away in 2015 and Yvonne grieved his passing every day since. After the family moved to the west coast Yvonne worked for many years with the Royal Bank of Canada, subsequently retiring from the Steveston, B.C. branch. Yvonne will be remembered for her humour and wisdom. She loved spending time with her family, especially the grandchildren, who gave her never ending joy in her later years. Yvonne especially looked forward to the family gathering every summer, in Kelowna B.C. "Grandma" will always hold a place in our hearts, and will be missed, always.
