Yvonne was born on May 11, 1935 at home in the Township of Green Valley, Marathon County, to Clarence and Florence (Wyman) Viegut. She was the third oldest of 13 children. Her family moved east of Dorchester, when she was two years old. Yvonne attended Draper Grade School and Dorchester High School.

On the second Saturday night in June of 1952, Yvonne met her husband, Donald O. Koerner, at a dance in Dorchester. Two years later they were married, Sept. 18, 1954 at Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church.

Yvonne worked side by side with her husband on their dairy farm on Center Rd. in Dorchester from 1954-1996. After retiring from the farm, she worked at Hedlers and County Market, where she loved her coworkers and visiting with customers until she was 80 years young.
