Jimmy Flynn Bost

Jimmy Flynn Bost was born on the family farm in the Hughes Community to John Bost and Ora Nell Snyder Bost on May 31, 1930. He passed away on Saturday, January 25, 2014 in Yukon, Oklahoma at the age of 83 years. Flynn graduated from Hughes High School in 1950, and then attended Cameron State College in Lawton, Oklahoma, East Central University in Ada, OK, and Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK. Shortly before he was to graduate with a degree in accounting, his parent’s health began to fail, so being the youngest child that had no other family obligations, he came home to Maysville to care for them until the time of their passing, his father in 1958 and mother in 1961. Flynn worked for Zanola’s Dry Goods Store for four years and then began his banking career with the First National Bank in Maysville. In 1971, he and Evelyn Ausbrook married and shortly after moved to Purcell. He went to work for First American Bank and continued there for twenty three years until retiring in 1993. He often stated during his time in the bank at Purcell that he had two of the finest bosses that a person could ever have, and those men were Sam Ewing and Pat Mays. Flynn was a member of the Church of Christ in Wayne, Oklahoma. He spent the majority of his life caring for his family and for those that he loved. Mr. Bost was preceded in death by his wife, Evelyn on April 5, 2013. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Gerald Dean Grimes, brother Travis and ten half brothers and sisters. He is survived by numerous nieces and nephews and other family members, as well as, dear friends Kent and Deborah Inouye and their family. Funeral services will be held at 1:30 pm, Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at the Church of Christ in Wayne, OK with Troy Yandell officiating. Burial will be in the Maysville Cemetery under the direction of John Williams of Winans Funeral Home, Maysville, OK. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.winansfuneralhome.com
