G. YVONNE “SIS” FLEURY

G. Yvonne “Sis” Fleury, 91, formerly of Magnet, died November 29, 2008 
in Omaha. Memorial services were held December 5 at St. Paul United Methodist 
Church Omaha.

Yvonne was born September 5, 1917, the daughter of Earl “Jack” Chrisman, in 
Magnet. Sis and her father opened a grocery store in Magnet in 1936, with 
receipts the opening day being $4.74. They tested cream, candled eggs, bought 
chickens and had many other duties. After a few years, Jack applied for and 
received the first liquor license in Magnet and opened the beer joint up the 
street. Sis served as City Clerk for Magnet for some time, which proved valuable 
when she moved into the business world after leaving Magnet. After her marriage 
to Bob Fleury in 1940, and the arrival of Sally Jeanne in 1942, the grocery 
store was sold. They moved to Okoboji, Iowa, back to Magnet and then to Fremont 
and finally to Omaha where their daughter Cindy was born.

Survivors include her daughter Cindy Fleury, grandchildren, Christine Scheef, 
Mike Fielding, Shea and Bob Klein, Christopher and Jessica Fleury and Jeremy 
Fleury; great-grandchildren, Shane Fielding and Merlin Fleury.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Sally Fielding.
