Yvonne had a passion for her work and research with the hope of encouraging change through educating and caregiving. Being a woman of determination, she set goals and accomplished them a step at a time.

She taught nursing through the WSU School of Nursing and continued on with post doctorate work and research at Washington University in Seattle until 2007. Married nearly 57 years to James “Jim” Ulrich, she knew before their first date that he was “the one.” She will be remembered for her courage, grace, and her ability to see the beauty within each person. She will be missed and we will always hold her in our hearts.
