  Grace Alline was born April 3, 1937 to Tobias Lucky and Virginia (Rippitoe) Cook in Figure Four, Arkansas. In 1955, she graduated from Lassen High School in Susanville, CA. Grace became a licensed hairdresser from Sparks Beauty School in Nevada. On November 8, 1958, Grace was united in marriage to Harold Gus Young at Stead Air Force Base in Reno, NV. Together, they moved back to North Mankato, were blessed with two boys, and then raised their family on a farm in rural Mankato. Grace had worked at JC Penney and Wonder Bread, before being a cook for School District 78 in Rapidan. She was head cook for Wellcome Memorial High School in Garden City until retirement. After retirement, Grace cooked at Trinity Daycare in North Mankato and also worked two summers at a gift shop in Yellowstone. Grace loved to take pictures of bison and spend time with her family, but most of all, she enjoyed spoiling her grandchildren.

  Grace is survived by her husband of 53 years and 9 months, Gus of Mankato; son, Keith (Cheryl) Young of Yellowstone National Park, WY and their two sons: Joshua (Leslie) Young and their daughter, Briella; David (Michelle) Young; son, Steven (Cynthia) Young of Vernon Center and their three daughters: Chelsey (Jeremy) Pasbrig, Courtney Young, and Cammey Young; one sister, Janice Humphrey; and nieces and nephews.

  Grace was preceded in death by her parents; three sisters; and one brother.
