Marjorie Ann Gries was born on June 18, 1924, in Colby, to Peter and Clara (nee Brost) Gries. She graduated from Colby High School. She married Harold R. Yost on May 16, 1942, in Colby, Wis.

She enjoyed quilting, cross stitching, singing, flowers and gardening, sewing and playing sheepshead, but her fondest joy came from being with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
