Mary Beth Little

Mary Beth Little, 73, passed peacefully at home, surrounded by her loved ones, in the late evening of April 7, 2020. She was born June 22, 1946 in Albuquerque, NM to Leonard John and Dorothy Anne (Erstad) Yelinek. She is survived by her daughter, Belinda Marie Schauer; ex son in law & friend, Bob; grandchildren, Savannah Renee Schauer and Evan Robert Schauer; a sister, Marlyss "Mitzi" Joan Gramly (Colorado); a brother, Leonard 'Len' Jerome Yelinek; and her beloved dogs Sadie and Lulu. She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, Jayne Vollmer and a brother, Robert "Bob" Yelinek. Mary Beth attended Bishop Gorman High School and then graduated Hattiesburg High School (64). She then attended University of Southern Mississippi and married Robert Little. They had a daughter, Belinda, and shortly after moved back to Las Vegas to rejoin her parents and siblings; this is where she remained the rest of her life. In the 70s, she was an Executive Assistant at the Silver Slipper Hotel and Casino, and a Casino Cage Cashier in several other casinos in the following two decades. She and her brother Bob owned The Elf Shelf toy store in LV. She loved sales and worked at LazyBoy for many years before retiring. She was a kind soul and became friends with all whom she met. In her youth, she enjoyed bowling and was a collecting enthusiast of miniatures, dolls and bears. For fun, she reveled in the nuance of the casino, took cruises, and enjoyed nice dinners with friends and family. She was the life of the party. A celebration of life will be held tentatively in June when family and friends may be together again.
