Young of Saganaw, Mich.; nine grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren, one great-great-granddaughter; her sister-in-law: Anna Young; and many nieces and nephews; and lastly, her loving companion, Maddie, her toy poodle.
She was preceded in death by two sons: Charles W. Young and Ronald R. Young; three sisters: Jean Stetler, Helen Zimmerman, and Louise Hawthorne; and a brother: Bernard J. Dougherty.
