Passed away on Monday, February 25, 2019 at 84 years. Although Yvonne lived in Waukegan, IL, San Diego and Long Beach. CA during her husband, George's Navy service, then in 1977 transferred to Danville, IL, living in Catlin, IL, Saginaw, MI was always home. She was the daughter of the late Chester L. Petre and Marcelyn E. (Zehnder) Petre. She attended Saginaw schools and graduated from Arthur Hill H .S. with the class of 1952. Her ensuing years/days were filled with golf and bowling with girlfriends until one weekend when her covey of quail ascended on Ramon's Drive-in, where George Baumann and Norman Adsit were on a September weekend from U of M..on a similar mission. Sally, engaged to George's SHS best friend, Walt, was in the group of girls and introduced George around. After collecting a couple phone numbers, Yvonne, who properly filled out a bright yellow, short sleeve pull-over sweater said "I do not know him" and did not participate. In a morning call to Sally, George got Yvonne's number; and in short order they went on a bowling date, which cost George a steak sandwich at Tony's. This was the introduction to a relationship which resulted in our wedding on February 12, 1955. Children from this union were; Bruce William, Bonnie Sue (Dave) Skornia, and Brent George Baumann (deceased). Bonnie and Dave added, Adam (Emma) Skornia with Lilian and Owen, Caitlyn (Conner) Schultz and Eric. Brent (deceased) provided Dustin (Rachael) Sinkes with Jaden Sinkes to the mix.
