comprised of six members around a card
table. Economic resources were thin but we
made it work. Due to her constant poking of
my rib, the city of Brandon now has one of the
bestprograms in the state!
Another thing about Yvonne is that wherever
and whenever you need her, she will be there.
Her strong Christian base and influence has
served her and the citizens of Brandon well.
Her compassion for humanity is widespread
and her concern for the city of Brandon is as
large as her heart.
Yvonne Bianchi, you are a great American and
a beloved friend. I am blessed to have you as
a friend and so is the city of Brandon.

Yvonne Bianchi is a very unique individual. She grew up in a large
family of boys and girls. Her daddy was very musical and could
play several instruments. The girls inherited some of his talent.
They sang as a group for many activities in their neighborhood.
They were athletic, too.
Yvonne’s family was Baptist and going to church was very much
emphasized. She was schooled and trained as a nurse. Yvonne
loves people and helping others. She has served as alderwoman
for the city of Brandon and was involved with the city and its
senior citizen activities that still meets once a week.
She has a gifted voice and loves singing, especially in choirs.
Her vibrant personality and beauty inspires those who know
her. She was the youngest child and was probably spoiled
by her mama. Her mother taught her a lot about the Bible.
We have become friends through a mutual love of music.
She loves to sing and we participate in music at Brandon
Baptist Church and at the music activities on Monday
mornings at the Brandon Civic Center.
