AUBURN – Yvonne S. Needham, 68, of Auburn passed away Monday, November 2, 2020. She was born April 19, 1952, a daughter of Lewis and Beth Stockford of Rockland, Maine.

Von grew up in Rockland and graduated from Rockland High School. She then graduated in 1972 from the Auburn School of Commerce. Following graduation she then began her 40 year career as a legal assistant for the law offices of Issaacson and Raymond. There she built a reputation as a fiercely loyal and dedicated employee.
