A. Yvonne Victor

“My Darling, My Darling” Yes Mama, after 33 long years, you and Daddy are finally dancing again to Andy Williams and Perry Como music. Our much loved Mother passed away quietly July 18th, 2013. Anne “Yvonne” LaBar Victor was born Dec. 17th, 1930, on the “Idaho side” of The Newport Hospital. Mama spent her early childhood years at Spirit Lake, ID, the small logging town where her father, Irving LaBar worked at the local sawmill. The family moved to Spokane when Mom was a young teenager. There she attended Marycliff High School for girls. At the age of 17, while working at Cliff Berry’s Modern Maid Ice Cream Shoppe on Grand Blvd, she met the love of her life, Richard “Dick” Victor. They immediately fell in love. Dad was working at the time for Chuck Shields’ Chevron Station, just up the hill on Grand Blvd. In 1957 they moved to Moses Lake so Dad could pursue his career in teaching. Mom took a job at The Doctor’s Clinic, where she worked for over 20 years. She then worked at Columbia Basin Eye Clinic until she retired. Mom spent her last years living at Emeritus Hearthstone in Moses Lake. She had recently moved back to Spokane and resided at Moran Vista with her beloved cat Annie. Yvonne is survived by son Steve (Ellen) Victor of Spokane, daughter Cathy (Dustan) Knauss of Moses Lake, son David (Farand) Victor of Spokane, and son Rich (Peggy) Victor of Moses Lake. “Grandma Uh-Oh” as she was affectionately called by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren is also survived by grandsons Aaron, Dustan, Nicholas, and granddaughters Kim, Melanie, Kellie and Stephanie. She also leaves numerous great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Mom was the last of the “LaBar clan” from Spirit Lake. Her brothers Harlan and Don, and sisters Pat, Janet and Mary all preceded her in death. Our Mama was an amazing cook and loved having all of her family over to share with her in fun, laughter and her many special meals. Per Mom’s request, there will be no funeral or service. The family will gather soon at Spirit Lake to celebrate her amazing love and life. We miss you so much Mama. We find comfort however, knowing that you are once again with Dad.
