Minnie Almyra (Scott) Yost, age 104, passed away September 9, 2025, in Henderson, Nevada, at the home of her son. Minnie was born April 22, 1921, in Thurman, Iowa, to James LeRoy (Porter) and Rosa Elizabeth (Ensminger) Scott. She was the ninth of 10 children.

She spent her early life in Thurman. Minnie married Dale Yost on June 30, 1937, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. They were blessed with four children, Jackie Apperson, Richard Yost, Dalene Yost, and Paula Hauser.

Minnie was very creative, loved to sew, crochet and quilt. She made 100 quilts, many prize worthy, wedding dresses, clothes for family, baby blankets, and tablecloths. She crocheted hundreds of beautiful hot plate holders up until 103 when sight and arthritis in her hands became an issue.

When Dale passed October 6, 1995, she moved to Springfield, Missouri, to be close to her daughters. She lived there until 2022.
