     Yvonne L. Treptow, age 70, of Brule, Nebraska passed away on Saturday,  November 14, 2020 at the Ogallala Community Hosptial in Ogallala, Nebraska.  
     Yvonne was born on October 17, 1941 at Columbus, Nebraska to John and Barbara (Miller) Dobson.  She attended Cedar Rapids High School.  Yvonne worked with her parents for many years working cattle. 
     On January 17, 1959, Yvonne married Harold E. Treptow at Cedar Rapids.  After they were married, the couple worked together on the Treptow family farm at Cedar Rapids for a few years before moving to Millard, Nebraska where Harold was working on the development of a golf course, house and apartments for Oak Hills, Inc. while Yvonne handled the bookkeeping for the company.
     In the late 1960's, Yvonne earned her real estate broker's license for Nebraska.  The couple eventually relocated to Denver, Colorado where Yvonne also obtained her broker's license.  She later got into closings and real estate loans for US Homes & Fulensider while in Denver, which she did for the next fifteen years.  
     Yvonne and Harold moved to Califonia in the late 1980's, where they remodeled luxury homes in the Corona del Mar, San Juan Capistrono, and Newport Beach areas.  They returned to Denver before moving to Lake McConaughy in Nebraska in 2004, where they partnered to develop and maintain The Dunes at Lake McConaughy, located on the south shore.  
     Yvonne was a very kind and loving person.  She was a hard worker and possessed a steadfast spirit that was such a blessing throughout the many projects and moves that she and Harold worked on together.
     Yvonne was preceded in death by her parents and a son, Terrance Treptow.
     Survivors include her husband, Harold, of Brule, Nebraska; three sons, Richard, Steven, and Daniel Treptow, all of Denver, Colorado; three grandsons; a brother, Michael Dobson of Denver, Colorado; along with an uncle and many other relatives and friends.
