Yvonne was born in Bertha, MN, on June 16, 1940, the daughter to Kenneth and Rosetta (Krosch) Kern. She grew up and attended school in Hewett, MN. After her formal education, she was united in marriage to Wesley Henderson at a church in Fergus Falls, MN, in 1958 and were married for 11 years before Wesley’s passing in 1969.
