Yvonne Evelyn (Hepler) Duncan age 74 of Wautoma passed away peacefully on January 16 , 2026 at her home in Wautoma. She was born on June 5, 1951 to George and Bernice (Hawley) Hepler in Portage, WI. Yvonne married Michael Duncan and they were blessed with 57 years of marriage. She worked for Ryhme Drugstore in Portage for several years and also helped her husband farm on a Pic-tur-esque farm setting in Illinois of which they were very proud of. They later returned to Wisconsin to enjoy retirement. Years spent being a homemaker, gardener and tending to her flowers, she found most peace just sitting on the porch listening to the birds and watching the wild life. We will all remember our "Dear Vonny" as the kind loving and caring person she was.
