It may be said that Yvonne was a bookkeeper, but at Standard Safety she was much more than that. She joined our company in the late '70s and was there through a time of great growth in company activities, facilities, and personnel. She was hard-working, accurate and diligent in her work and fiercely loyal to the company. But most importantly, she was trustworthy beyond reproach. She was able to grow in her responsibilities and was ready to tackle any new project sent in her direction, (of which there were many over the years!).
She participated in all of our company social events and could be counted on to help us organize the event and always, always wore the company colours!
No one worked harder than Yvonne and it was a bittersweet day when she reached that darned 65-year-old milestone and said goodbye to us at Standard Safety. I know Yvonne thought the world of my Dad and though we worked closely for many years, I'm not sure she ever knew how much I relied upon her work, her dedication and most importantly her sense of respect for the people we employed and the services we provided. If I had one comment that would definitely tell you about what I saw in Yvonne it would be: "Don't mess with Standard Safety!"
