Yvonne was born May 21, 1941, in Soper, OK the daughter of William Porter and Dovie Marie (Murray) Campbell. Yvonne spent the majority of her youth in the Hugo area.  For a period of a few years during the early 1940's her family moved to California for her father to work in the agricultural industry. She attended elementary school at Goodland Indian Orphanage and graduated from Hugo High School in 1959. She worked at the Hugo Hospital while still in high school as a nursing aid, she then went to Mercy Nursing School in Oklahoma City, OK where she became a Registered Nurse. She continued to work as an emergency room nurse at Mercy Hospital until she married and moved to Pawnee, OK. In Pawnee she raised her two daughters and worked as an RN at Pawnee Municipal Hospital also serving as the Assistant Director of Nursing for most of her time there.  She continued her career at Stillwater Medical Center in the intensive care unit (ICU) until her retirement. Yvonne spent more than 35 years in medicine and was very proud of her long nursing career. She was a very skilled nurse who took great pride in the care she provided her patients. For approximately the past 15 years she has split her time between Pawnee, OK and Ennis, TX so she could be closer to her two daughters and their families.

Yvonne was a lifelong learner. She was an avid reader who loved fiction, non-fiction, and current events. She also enjoyed genealogy research and spent many hours in the library conducting her research.  Her greatest joy was spending time with her children and grandchildren and always made it a point to attend their activities when she could.  Yvonne was very active right up until her passing and enjoyed taking walks around her neighborhood and visiting with her neighbors. Yvonne is preceded in death by her parents, twin sisters and oldest sister, Winona Butcher Taber. 

She is survived by daughters, Jennifer Scott Nelson and husband Marty of Ennis, TX, Heather Scott Behrens and husband Keith of Dallas, TX; siblings, Margie Rogers and husband John of OKC, Billie  Joan Mitchell of Hugo, and William Edward Campbell and wife, Susie of Surprise, AZ; grandchildren, Robert “Bobby” Behrens, Madeline Behrens, Marie Nelson Seifert and husband Cole, Grace Nelson, Belle Nelson Payton and husband Benjamin; great granddaughters, Lucy and Lily Seifert; numerous nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.
