Klatt, Yvonne Louise (30 September 1936 – 27 November 2022)

Yvonne Louise Klatt was born September 30, 1936, the daughter of Robert and Antonia (Sell) Sperber. She was raised in the Hay Creek area of Bridge Creek Township, Eau Claire County. Yvonne was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Fairchild, attended Hay Creek Country School and graduated from Augusta High School in 1954.

While going to church in Fairchild, Yvonne met Leonard Klatt, and it was there at the church that the two were later married on May 26, 1956. The couple lived most of their married life and raised their 5 children in the rural area of Augusta and Fairchild. In 1993 they moved to the city of Eau Claire. After Leonard passed away Yvonne continued to live in Eau Claire, but eventually moved to the Granton area where she lived until 3 years ago when she moved to the Neillsville Retirement Community Assisted Living.

In addition to taking care of her family, Yvonne helped her husband with their mail contracting business that they had with the U.S. Postal Service.
