Yvonne "Cedele" Hitchman went to be with her savior on December 10th, 2024, after a long battle with cancer. She was born in Carnegie, Oklahoma on February 3, 1946, to Elmer and Artie Willis. She was the second, but only one of five children to be born in Oklahoma in their trips back and forth from California. In 1959, they moved to Eltopia where she and her siblings attended Eltopia Elementary. She attended both Connell and Pasco High School, graduating from Connell in 1964.

In 1964, she met and married David Pooler. They eventually bought a house in West Pasco where they raised four children: Logan, James, Watheneah, and Stacy. After many years of homemaking, she began working at Avis. She and David divorced after 27 years of marriage. In 1992, she married Keith Hitchman and they were married for 13 years. In retirement, her pride and joy became her grandchildren. She spent several years helping to take care of Stacy's children while she and Jason worked. She loved them like her own. She enjoyed classic country music, designing and making quilts, and decorating for her favorite holiday: Christmas.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Artie Willis and her sister Chyrl Cunningham. She is survived by her sisters D (Kenneth) Damjanovich and Loretta (Kalin) Shockey and her brother Harvey Willis. She loved getting together once a week and playing cards with her siblings and was thankful they were all close.

She is also survived by her children: Logan & Grace Pooler, James and Michelle Pooler, Watheneah Pooler, and Stacy and Jason Fangman. Also by her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchilren: David (Jerri) Pooler (children Addie, Nora, Jena, and Jackie), Shelcy (Michael) Chong (children Odella, Venture, and Crusade), Kristian Pooler, Kayla Pooler, Brandon Pooler, James Pooler Jr., Kyle Carlson (son Clint Carlson), Shyan Carlson (children Maeson and Novalee Molner, Erin, Harper, and Elizabeth Kirby), Jeryca Moraga (son Julian Moraga), Carson Fangman, Eli Fangman, and Samuel Fangman.

She will be missed by all that knew her. We love you mom.
