Yvonne Lynn Davenport passed away at her home in Yellow Springs on Feb. 4, 2021. She had been at home surrounded by her friends and family while battling pancreatic cancer since her diagnosis in October of last year.
Yvonne was born April 1, 1948, in Dayton, the youngest of seven children of Earl Davenport Sr. and Georgia (Woodall) Davenport. Yvonne and her elder siblings, Jackie Sue Davenport and Earl Jr., were the only three children to survive to adulthood. At the ages of 4 and 5, Yvonne and Jackie were taken to the OSSO Veteran’s orphanage home in Xenia by their mother, who was single at the time and barely making ends meet. Georgia would pass away from lymphoma at the age of 32, just a few months after leaving the girls at the home.
