Yvonne Bias Trotman was born on June 1, 1952, at Metropolitan Hospital in New York City. She was the second of six children born to George and Ella Mae Bias, both of whom preceded her in death.

Yvonne was educated within the New York City Public System, where she attended both PS 188 and JHS 22 for elementary and middle school. She later received her High School Diploma from Seward Park High School.

Yvonne had an infectious personality and thus began working in the retail industry as a sales representative for Classy Ladies and Arrow Shirts, where she later retired.

Yvonne met Alfred Turner, also known as "Juicy," through this union, and her firstborn son, Alfred Turner Jr., was born. Her love of children and overall heart of gold led her to expand her family and adopt two additional sons: Martell Bias and Mark Bias. Raising her three sons into strong black men was one of her greatest accomplishments.

In 1999, Yvonne met and later married Steve Trotman, and together, they continued to raise a family of young men. Yvonne attended the Gospel Temple Church, and through her fellowship, she converted, accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, and became a member.

Yvonne was a free spirit who welcomed everyone. She was extremely generous and would be willing to offer others her last. Yvonne enjoyed cooking and ensuring family and friends had full bellies. She is most notably known in the family for her infamous "Peach Cobbler". She loved music, specifically within the R&B/Soul genre, like songs from Barry White, Johnny Gill, and Robin Thicke, to name a few. However, her favorite song, "Juicy," would get her out on the dance floor every time, with a trail of other dancers defeated by her moves. Yvonne was indeed a Showstopper and a confident, assertive woman. She was a fashionista, wearing the latest clothing trends during her youth and ensuring her children were always dressed to impress.

Yvonne leaves to mourn her older sister, Patricia Bias Gray; older brother, George Bias; youngest brother, Ulyse Bias; two sisters-in-law, Denise Bias, and Lorraine Bias; her loving children, Alfred Turner Jr., Martell Bias, Mark Trotman, four step-children, Dolores Turner, Debra Yates, Danielle Johnson, and David Johnson; two daughters-in-law, Reina Turner, and Desdamona Snead; four grandchildren, Tyreek Turner, Kathryn Bias, Cataleya Turner, and Eleanor Bias; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins. We will all miss her greatly and continue to honor her for the rest of our days until we meet her again!
