IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Choella Yvonne
Dorais
July 23, 1939 – February 7, 2026
Choella Yvonne (Boster) Dorais, 86, passed away Saturday February 7, 2026 at Memorial Hospital in Yakima, Wa. surrounded by her loved ones.
Yvonne was born July 23, 1939 to Darrell and Beulah Boster. She grew up in the Yakima Valley living in the lower valley, Yakima, and Moxee where she met her husband Joe Dorais. Yvonne was a beloved mother of four children: David Dorais, Kathryn Kisner, Karen Lane, and Dan Dorais, four grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.
Yvonne worked as a dairy farmer with her children and husband for many years. She enjoyed crafting, gardening, and camping, hunting, and fishing with her family. In more recent years, she was a proud great grandmother who wouldn’t miss a game if she could help it. She was always cheering loudly for her great grandchildren, often sporting a team shirt, and showering them with positive praise.
Yvonne leaves behind a lifetime of love and memories. She will be missed more than words can say.
Yvonne is preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Joseph Glenn Dorais, her parents Darrell and Beulah Boster, and her siblings Christine Boster, Carol Burton, and Ron Boster.
