Minnie Dostis received her Social Security number in Illinois. In the obit for her husband, Peter J. Dostis, she is referred to as “neé Helmouth.” This was a name she assumed. Not listed in her brother Gustaf’s obituary. Listed as surviving “sister, Minnie, of New York” in the obituary of her brother Albin. Minnie Dostis. 100, of Hetcheltown Rd. entered into eternal life on July 14, 2007.  Born in Saginaw, MN on April 4, 1907, she was the daughter of the late Daniel and Johanna Landstrom Kohs.  Minnie grew up in Duluth, MN and spent most of her life in Cook County (Chicago Ill) where she was married to Robert Klein until his passing in 1968. {?sic} Later she was married to Peter J. Dostis. A devoted housewife/homemaker, she was always conscientious of health and nutrition.  Minnie was a great cook and enjoyed baking. She was an avid reader of poetry and religiously took brisk walks. At the age of 92 she made a point of climbing over three flights of stairs each day. Minnie resided in Pleasantville, NY from 1976-79 then moved north to the Capital District. She was fond of her centurion status and her many friends at Glendale Home. Surely she will be missed. Minnie was predeceased by her three brothers.   Survivors include two daughters, Marian Kroon and her husband Eugene of Roselle, IL and J. Maria Dostis of Rexford, NY.; grandchildren, Steven E.
