Dear Family and Friends ,
It is with deep sadness and heaviness in our hearts that we share the news of Yvonne Marie Rizzo’s passing. Bonnie, as many knew her, was my dear aunt, a devoted mother to my cousins Thomas and James, and a loving grandmother, daughter, and sister. She was a core part of our family who touched our lives in a special way and leaves an unforgettable mark in the hearts of all who knew her.
We invite you to join our family at Yvonne’s funeral service and to celebrate her beautiful life at a reception to follow.
As you may know in difficult times like these, funeral arrangements and associated costs can prove to be challenging. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the family—any contribution, no matter how small or large, will be greatly appreciated and will help us ensure a dignified farewell to our beloved Yvonne.

With respect and gratitude,
Jessika Fairbanks

We believe there is simple human justice in the chance to build a life. When we find people displaced from their homes, countries or lives, our instinct may be to focus on their basic needs. And we do – we provide health care, clean water, shelter, protection and economic opportunities to more than 3.5 million people each year. But that is living – it’s not a life. So, we also work closely with refugees, trafficked persons and migrants to co-design solutions that help them build full and fulfilling lives – lives alight with joy, dignity, connection and purpose.
