Yvonne Proehl passed away peacefully on September 17, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio.
Loving mother of Mary Hoffmann, Terri (Lee) Johnston and Joe (Michelle) Proehl. Beloved grandmother and Magaw to Donald, Laurie, Chad, Kristen, Lauren, John and the late Andrew Proehl. Great grandmother to Kailani, Sparrow, Beckman, and Margot Von. Yvonne was a dear aunt, great aunt, sister-in-law, cousin, and friend to many.
Yvonne built a lifetime of memories with her beloved husband, the late Walter Proehl with whom she shared 54 years of marriage, and who preceded her in death in 2009.
Together they raised their family, traveled far and wide as inseparable best friends, and welcomed friends and family into their home to celebrate with meals, laughter and often games late into the evening.
Yvonne was a dedicated volunteer supporting many activities over the years including the St. Alexius Auxiliary, St. Matthias Golden Achievers, Catholic Knights, St. Cecelia’s Credit Union and worked for many years in the Most Precious Blood library.
