Yvonne Baumann, age 88, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, surrounded by her loving family at Appledorn Living Center in Holland, Michigan.
Yvonne was born on April 6, 1938, in North Holland, Michigan, to Peter and Katherine (Elzinga) Dalman. She attended North Holland School and graduated from Holland High School.
A longtime member of South Olive Christian Reformed Church, Yvonne’s faith was an important part of her life. She enjoyed sharing her faith with others and taught Bible school for many years. Yvonne also had a love for crocheting and playing the piano and cherished the many wonderful memories made while camping with family and friends. Later in life, she continued her spirit of giving through volunteer work with Right to Life.
A lifelong resident of the North Holland area, Yvonne’s greatest joy was her family. She treasured the time spent with those she loved and took great pride in being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her love, kindness, and caring presence were a constant source of comfort and support to her family.
Yvonne shared 67 wonderful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Leverne Baumann, who preceded her in death earlier this year on April 15, 2026. She was also preceded in death by six of her siblings.
She leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory, including her four sons, Mark (Beverly) Baumann, Kelvin (Barbara) Baumann, Jeffrey (Kimberly) Baumann, and Daniel (Lori) Baumann; eleven grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and her sister, Coral Swieringa. She is also survived by her brothers- and sisters-in-law, Bernard (Burdetta) Baumann, John (DeeAnn) Baumann, Nancy (Ronald) DeBoer, Mary (David) Esther, and Vern VandenBrink; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
Yvonne will be lovingly remembered for her strong faith, her devotion to family, and the many ways she touched the lives of those around her. She leaves behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a legacy of love that will continue through the generations of her family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
A celebration of Yvonne’s life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, November 23, 2026, at Victory Point, 11530 Ransom Street, Holland, Michigan. Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation at the church from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., prior to the service.
In memory of Yvonne, memorial contributions may be made to Right to Life Ministry, an organization she generously supported through her volunteer work.
