Yvonne Graf
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Yvonne Graf, who left us on August 25, 2026, at the age of 88.
Originally from Switzerland, she chose to cross the Atlantic in 1964 to start a new life in Quebec. A free, creative, and passionate woman, she was an artist driven by a thousand projects and an ever-moving imagination.
After having journeyed through life, she finally settled in Quebec City, a city she chose as her home and where she built a large part of her life.
She leaves in the hearts of those who loved her the memory of a unique, curious, independent woman, deeply attached to creation.
She is survived by her daughters, Myriam Dionne (Victorin Pelletier) and Nadja Dionne (Domenico Di Molfetta), all family members residing in Switzerland and Spain, as well as her friends Bernie and Tom, Marc and Patrick, Linda and Marc, Thilde and John, Julie, Lynn, and all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
According to her wishes, there will be no visitation. An intimate ceremony will take place at a later date, surrounded by her loved ones.
