Ella Yeager, Bassani, Rodriguez, daughter of Juana "Jennie" and Antonio Rodriguez, wife to Merico "Buzz" Bassani and later Silas "Tiny" Yeager, passed away at the age of 91 on Saturday, March 27th at the Good Samaritan Rehabilitation facility in Yakima, WA. Ella Yeager was proceeded in death by her first husband Merico Bassani and her four brothers, Gus, Jay, Homer and Richard Rodriguez.
Ella grew up in Rock Springs, WY in a large family of seven siblings. As a newly married couple, Ella and Merico enjoyed time spent dancing with friends and entertaining at their home. After the loss of her first husband, Ella became a dedicated employee at the Outlaw Inn and was praised for her hard work. Ella managed to win over all who knew her with a spunky attitude, infectious laugh, and great sense of humor. After her marriage to Silas Yeager, Ella moved to Daniel, WY and enjoyed many years living on "The Home Ranch" as the sign at the end of their driveway proudly proclaimed. Ella and Silas later moved to Mesquite, NV where she enjoyed her favorite pastime of playing slots at the local casinos. After years living in the bright sun of Nevada, Ella and Silas moved to the birthplace of her husband Silas in Yakima, WA.
Ella was a beautiful person who inspired confidence in others through the genuine compliments she gave to those around her. A self-proclaimed "tough old bird", she was stubborn to the very end.
Ella Yeager is survived by her husband Silas Yeager, two siblings, Julia Skiles and Tony Rodriguez, two daughters, Elaine Bassani and Judi Bassani and her sole granddaughter, Whitney Wulf.
