Visitation is scheduled from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Cathedral prior to the Mass. Yvette was born in Paducah, Cottle County, TX on October 20, 1930, the daughter of Enis and Isabel Haddad Schaded. Her parents were married in Tyler in 1925 at a time when her father was in business in Paducah. Her mother was a member of the Haddad family who were early residents of Tyler, beginning in 1913. Her parents later moved to Wellington, Collingsworth County, where Yvette attended elementary school. She later attended Ursuline Academy of Dallas and graduated in the class of 1947. Subsequently, she attended the former Loretto Heights College in Denver, Colorado, and graduated with a degree in music in 1951. In spite of her lifelong hearing impairment from childhood, Yvette became an accomplished pianist. The highlight of her musical studies came when she performed her college senior piano recital accompanied by a string quartet from the Denver Symphony Orchestra. Her parents moved to Tyler in 1952 and Yvette then worked at the former Citizens First National Bank. She was a supervisor in the accounting department and became a senior clerk before retiring after 32 years with the bank. Although Yvette was burdened with a hearing problem in her life, she never let that affect her activities nor her interests. She was an avid traveler, having visited Europe on three occasions, as well as visiting Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, and areas of the United States. She loved listening to classical piano music and to recordings by classical singers like Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli. She was a member of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Parish, The Cathedral Altar Society, and a former member of the Tyler branch of the American Association of University Woman (AAUW). Yvette is survived by a brother Edmond W. Schaded and by a sister Diane T. Schaded and by a number of cousins. Special gratitude goes out to her caregivers, Teresa Neal and Christine Robinson, for their compassionate care; to the staff and volunteers at the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County for their outstanding support; to the nurses and staff of the Hospice of East Texas for their exemplary dedication to end-of-life nursing; and to the staff of Christus Mother Frances Hospital.
