Sinclair’s Island – Yvonne Carolyn Fraser, Mar. 13,
1931- Jan. 4, 2018. It is with great sadness that we announce the
passing of Yvonne « Vonnie » Fraser (nee Cooke), age 86, of
Glen Haven Manor, formerly of Sinclair’s
Island.
She was born in New Glasgow to Harriett (nee Mason) and Thurston
Cooke. She received her education at New Glasgow High School. Upon
graduation, she began work in the family business, Cooke’s
Transfer, where she was employed for many years. Von was an avid and
skilled knitter, famous for her beautiful socks and at Christmas her
plum puddings were always a hit.
After she married Donald Fraser, the family grew to include their
three sons, Stuart, Aaron and Ken. The family resided in New Glasgow
for several years, Noranda Que. for a short while but they eventually
settled in beautiful Sinclair’s’
Island.
Yvonne is survived by her son, Aaron (Sherry Lynn Shaw),
Sinclair’s Island; step granddaughter, Elizabeth; her
sister, Helen Barter, Red Deer, Alberta. She was predeceased by two
sons: Stuart and Ken; her husband, Donald; her parents: Harriett and
Thurston Cooke; brothers: George, Joe, Clyde, and Donnie; sisters:
Molly Cobham, Scottie Cameron and Gloria Christison.
Von will be greatly missed by many nieces and nephews from both the
Cooke and Fraser families. All will remember the sparkle in her blue
eyes, beautiful smile and quick sense of humor. She showed such an
affectionate interest in her large extended family.

Funeral Home, 55 Almont Ave., Glasgow with a service to celebrate
Yvonne’s life at 2 pm Monday, Rev. Pat Rose officiating.
