Yvette passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 4, 2023, at Lakeridge Health Oshawa at the age of 86.

Now joined together in heaven with her husband, Francis McCourt.

Loving mother of Neil McCourt (Wendy), Lydia Devereaux (Cory) and the late Jason McCourt; cherished grandmother of Paige McCourt and Brandon Devereaux.

Loving sister of Olga Madeira (Placido), Rosario Dias (Juliana) and Armando Dias; and loving sister-in-law of Tony McCourt (Anne), Maureen MacKay (Ian), Rosaleen McCourt and Edna McCourt.

She will also be fondly remembered by many extended family, including nieces, nephews and cousins; and friends from throughout her life.

Yvette was born on December 22, 1936, in Bombay, India, and immigrated to Canada in her 30s, where a new life of change and opportunity was embraced. She met Frank, as both were Boy Scout leaders in Scarborough, and although immigrants from two different countries of the world, India and Scotland, their love was established through their shared interests and most importantly, their Roman Catholic faith. Yvette was a proud teacher in India and Canada, and had a significant impact on many of her students' lives.
