Yvonne Ilene (Roby) Coleman, age 56, of Nevada, Missouri, suddenly and sadly departed this life to be an angel in Heaven on Thursday evening, October 18, 2012.

Yvonne moved to El Dorado Springs at a young age and lived her life there until moving to Nevada in 2004. She attended El Dorado Springs High School graduating in 1974. She was saved as a young child at the First Baptist Church in El Dorado Springs.
