Andrea " Yvonne" Kills Crow was born October 16th, 1964 to Andrew Kills Crow (deceased) and Trevian Long Elk (deceased) on Standing Rock Reservation. Her parents raised her on the reservation along with her siblings. She was the baby girl of the family and was loved by her brother and sisters. Yvonne graduated from Standing Rock High School in 1984 with her first born child, Jeremy. After some time, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Torey Lynn. She then migrated to Minneapolis, MN where she resided for 12 years. During that time, she had a son named Charles and another daughter named Kirsten. Yvonne loved her children very deeply and made it known that her children were her life. As was she theirs. Yvonne then moved to Grand Forks, ND where she met and found her life partner Miss Shelby White. In Shelby Yvonne found the companionship that she had been looking for her entire life. She made it known that they were soul mates and that she was the love of her life. Everyone who knows Yvonne knows Shelby just the same. Two peas in a rainbow pod! They relocated to Bismarck, ND where Torey Lynn and Kirsten soon followed. The eldest Jeremy residing in MN and the baby boy Charles living in Minot, and where she stayed until her recent passing.

Anyone who knew Yvonne knew she was a forced to be reckoned with! She was always teasing everyone and making them laugh with her quirky sense of humor. She certainly was one of a kind! She had a light inside of her that was bright and as warm as the sun. Her heart was big enough to love everyone in the world. She was well known for caring for other people's children, taking them into her home, and for giving the random friend a place to call home. She had a heart of gold and cared very deeply for others around her. She was a wonderful mother, daughter, sister, friend, cousin, and most of all but not least life partner. A huge light went out the day she left this world but will never be forgotten. Go in peace you amazing beautiful woman!
