Victoria Helen Yost

Victoria Yost passed away on May 19th, 2019, she was 71 years old. Vicki was born on June 6th, 1947 to Lillian and Gary Van de Linde. After spending the first years of her life in Greendale, WI the family moved to St Paul MN. She met the love of her life there, William Yost, when they were both working at Dayton's Department Store. The story goes that Bill immediately told her he loved and was going to marry her. Six months they were married, and they remained so for almost 45 years, until Bill's passing in 2011. In 1975 they relocated to the Hudson Valley, where they had two children, Andrew and Laura, and numerous dogs. Vicki was an avid traveler, whether it was touring Alaska, train rides through Ireland or going for long drives through the New York countryside. Her sense of direction was second to none, and she will be remembered as one of the few people who could win an argument with Google Maps. When she was unable to travel herself, she loved to view the world through her children's photographs and stories. When not on the move she loved to kayak, hike, bake, and be outside her dog. She cherished her family, with a special love for her (step) granddaughter Kayla Grace who she loved to spoil with presents and help build fairy gardens. Victoria is predeceased by her loving husband Bill, her parents, Lillian and Gary and her sister Garalyn. She leaves behind her children Andrew and Laura, her son in law Daniel, granddaughter Kayla, dog Riley. Her brothers Dennis and Gary VandeLinde, Sisters-in-law Carol Snow and Sue Vandelinde. Many nieces and nephews and her wonderful friends Ann Goldsmith, Anna Youngs And Lynn Surgeary.
