In loving memory of our wonderful Yvonne β€˜Yonnie’ Barrow, who sadly passed away on 2nd September 2026, aged 90.

A truly unforgettable character, Yonnie lived a remarkable life filled with family, friendship, laughter and more than a little mischief. Known for her incredible strength, wicked sense of humour, naughty songs and larger-than-life personality, she brought so much love and laughter to everyone around her.

After 46 years at Guinness Square, Yonnie was very much at the heart of the community, just as she was at the heart of our family.

This page is a place for everyone who knew and loved Yonnie to come together to remember her, share their photographs, stories and favourite memories, and celebrate a very special woman and a life incredibly well lived.

She leaves behind a lifetime of memories, laughter and love that will be treasured forever.

Beautiful, full of life Pink Everything, warmest heart, Smiles like the sun Loves everyone. When I became her neighbour in 1994 with y 18 months old daughter, Yvonne took kindly to us. Next thing I saw my 18 months old daughter walking out of Yvonne house wearing her pink high heels shoes rocking them like they have joint custody of them.yvonne has since been like a family member to us until we leaves. I have since many times check on her whilst she was able to buzz me in. She was always miss independent, dress up looking hot in her pink everything going to the shops even if it's around the corner, she will light up the area in her pink everything and her smile like a sunflower. I haven't seen her before her passing, I always think of her especially when I am walking through the estate. Her spirit will live on forever. Her memories are my treasure that no one can steal. He Death leaves wound that are hard to heal, but sweet are the memories that are silently kept, of Yvonne who I remember and will never forget. Rest In Peace My Beautiful Pink Queen πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ’–πŸ’•

Yonnie had such a bright, cheerful smile, great laugh, an elegant sense of style and a love of all things pink that will always be remembered. She was a truly lovely lady whose warmth and happiness touched so many lives. She will be remembered with great fondness and sadly missed. πŸ’—

I have many fond memories of wonderful Yonnie. My earliest ones were when she and Rita worked together in a Government post room. The funny stories she would share with us. The singing! She was a lovely part of my time spent with you all many years ago. Kathy, Linda and the children who are now the grown ups. Rest in peace dear Yonnie, you were so special to us all xx
