Yvonne M. Stevens

Yvonne M. Stevens, 63, of Hanover, wife of William J. Stevens, friends since kindergarten and high school sweethearts, entered into God’s eternal care on Monday, August 4, 2025 at UPMC Hanover.

Born on Saturday, October 21, 1961 in Baltimore, she was the daughter of the late Albert L. and Beverly Stedding Dixon. A 1979 graduate of Archbishop Spaulding High School, she was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church. Known as Miss Yvonne, and a bonus mom to hundreds of kids, she was the front desk manager and served in many other capacities, at Pennsylvania Theatrical Arts where she worked with her entire family. Yvonne will be remembered for her love of children and the devotion to her family. She enjoyed spending time with her dogs and cooking, especially her potato salad and her pasta dish, which was known to many as “heart attack in a bowl”.

Surviving, in addition to her husband of nearly 45 years, are two daughters, Priscilla Staub and her husband, Paul, and Brittany Reese and her husband, Douglas ; a granddaughter, Sophie Staub; and her beloved dog, Valentino.

The funeral will be held at 11:00 AM Friday, August 8, 2025 at Panebaker Funeral Home & Cremation Care Center, Inc., 311 Broadway in Hanover. Burial will follow in Mount Olivet Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8:00 PM Thursday at the funeral home.
