Yvonne Kay Bird

Yvonne Kay Bird, 85 of Gilbert, AZ. died Sunday November 1, 2025.

She was born on in England and always went by Kay. Kay was the wife of the late Jeffrey Bird. She was the mother of the late Kimberley Stitsel, Donna Doroudian of Gilbert, AZ, Tracy Yarid of Methuen, MA, and Daniel Bird of Dover, NH and stepmother of Alan Bird, Stephen Bird, Andrew Bird, and Phillip Bird of England.

Prior to moving to Arizona she had lived in Salem NH for 33 years and England. Kay worked hard all her life but always looked at life with rose colored glasses. If you told her it’s raining she would say but look all the flowers are growing. When anything went wrong, she would say “Oh no! Oh dear!” in a posh English accent and make the children laugh. She loved the ocean and loved laying out in the sun.

In addition to her children, Kay is also survived by her brother Robert Burton and sister Josephine Broadhurst who reside in England; as well as her granddaughter Kira Yarid, grandsons Michael Doroudian, Louis Yarid, Christopher McAlevey, Reza Doroudian, Gavin Bird, great granddaughters Sophie Doroudian, Murphy Trujillo, and grandson Morgan Trujillo. She loved them all very much.
