She was born on October 6, 1932, in Chincoteague, VA to the late Walter S. and Minnie Elsie Gray Redden. She graduated from Ocean City High School and married William "Bill" Hastings. Together they raised five children as an Air Force family while William served our country. They often relocated as new orders uprooted the family for yet another assignment. Yvonne was a devoted Christian and a great Prayer Warrior. She loved her children, family, and Zoar Church family deeply. She loved the beauty of nature God created in the sunshine, sky, trees, and flowers. Hobbies through the years included gardening, flowers, knitting, and crochet. She was a great cook and loved to bake. After settling in Millsboro, she was a volunteer at the Christian Storehouse and a member of Zoar United Methodist Church. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband William in 2012, and also preceded by eight siblings, and a granddaughter: Lori Ann Bailey.
