Obituary of Gail Yost
Heaven received a special angel, J. Gail (Cress) Yost, 77, of Tyrone Road, Morgantown on Sunday, December 30, 2018 at her home with her husband Jack by her side.
Gail was a loving daughter. She was born on September 24, 1941, the first of five children of the late Lawrence "Dutch" Cress and Georgia (Molisee) Cress.
