Yvette "Vetty" Eilbert

Yvette “Vetty” Eilbert, 57, passed away at her home on January 18, 2023.

Yvette was born March 29, 1965 in Des Moines to Richard and Toni (DeFino) Eilbert. She developed Rett Syndrome at an early age. Vetty graduated from Ruby Van Meter School in 1986. She loved McDonalds. She also loved cartoons, Wylie Coyote and the Road Runner “Beep! Beep!” and her game shows. Vetty would always let you know when it was time for you to leave with a “BYE!” Her mom always said she was the “normal” one and everyone else was crazy.

She is finally free from the confines of her wheelchair and is walking around Heaven with her mom, dad, Nani, Aunt Mimi, Cousin Jeppy, Grandma Sue, and Cousin Gary David.

Vetty is survived by her sister, Deneen; niece, Margo Ann; nephew, Connor Lee; aunt, Sue (Tom) Dose; uncles, Chuck (Julie) DeFino and Mike (Kathy) DeFino; along with many, many cousins, extended family and dear friends.

The family will greet friends Saturday, January 28, 2023, from 12 pm to 2 p.m. with a funeral service to follow at 2 p.m. at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street. Vetty will be laid to rest with her parents at Avon Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the family in loving memory of Vetty.

Vetty was with Mosiac for 13 years. The family would like to extend a very special thank you to nurse, Rikki Barsetti and caretaker, DeEtta for the excellent care not only Vetty received, but the entire family.
