Yvonne Burris

MIDDLETON- Yvonne Dawn (Hauge) Burris died on November 21, 2015 in Middleton, Wisconsin.

She was the daughter of George and Grace Hauge, and grew up with them in Viroque, Wisconsin until their move to Madison. She graduated from Central High ('43) and the UW-Madison ('47), and then moved to join her high school sweetheart, Thomas Burris, in California, where they lived until 2013. During her time in California, Yvonne held various administrative positions with a meatpacking firm and with the federal government. In 2012, both she and Tom suffered health setbacks, and Tom died in 2013. Later that year, Yvonne returned to Wisconsin to be near her sister Wanda in the Madison area. Since then, she has resided at Artisan Memory Care in Middleton.

Yvonne is survived by her sister, Wanda Godshall of Madison and niece, Karen Godshall of Verona, and by many of her husband's nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, her elder sister Marne Burmeister of Madison, and by her husband.

Wanda and Karen extend many thanks to the staff of Artisan, and to the staff of Agrace Hospice care, who have helped us both through these transitions.

No services are planned.
