Cathleen "Caye" Marie (Wiberg) Aho, the daughter of Roy and Signhild (Hasselberg) Wiberg, was born on July 23, 1942, in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Caye was baptized and confirmed in the methodist faith. She graduated from Greenway High School in Coleraine, Minnesota. Caye attended Itasca Community College and received her bachelor’s degree in elementary education at Bemidji State University in 1963. Upon graduation, Caye began her teaching career in Saint Cloud, teaching at the elementary level at both Wilson Elementary School and North Junior High School. While residing in Saint Cloud, Caye was united in marriage to Albert Yost on June 4, 1966. After their marriage, Caye and Al resided in Grand Rapids where Caye would teach for a few years. They moved to Dassel in the early 1970s and Caye would settle into her teaching career at Kimball Elementary until her retirement, where she taught Kindergarten, second grade and Title-I. Caye loved teaching and each and every one of her students held a special place in her heart. Caye and John Aho were united in marriage on August 3, 1984. Together they made their home in rural Dassel until John's death in 2016. Immediately after, Caye moved to Waite Park and lived with her son and his family. Spending time with her son and grandchildren brought her immense joy and she valued that time the most. Caye loved to travel, and she took many road trips with her son. Some of their many journeys involved trips to Florida, California, Washington State, Washington DC, and Texas. She enjoyed spending time outdoors camping, snowmobiling, or just enjoying nature. She was an avid reader, loved to crochet, could often be found doing crossword puzzles, and playing cards with friends. She was a people person who could easily strike up a conversation with people she just met. She loved life and everyone that she knew. Caye is survived by her son, Jeremy Yost and his partner, Samantha Larson of Waite Park, grandsons, Jaxon and Riley Yost and Caiden Larson, nephew Rodger Rairie and great-nephew Nathaniel Rairie. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Aho, her parents, Roy and Signhild Wiberg, sister, Catherine Rairie and a baby brother, Clayton Paul Wiberg, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
