In 1943 she married George L. Young of West Glover, and together they bought the farm from Mrs. Young's mother. There they raised three children and managed a dairy herd until 1969. Mrs. Young was proud of the farm's award-winning syrup (which she boiled herself), and she dedicated much of her time to promoting the maple industry in Vermont. In the 1970s she began working at Young's Green Mountain Nursery along with her husband and sons. In 1978 the family bought out the nursery's founder and moved it to Tree Corners where they ran the business for ten years. Mrs. Young had a rich social life and was active in the Irasburg and later, New Port Richey, Florida, communities. Whether she was at the Ladies Aid Society, Home Demonstration Club, the Grange, square dancing, the Barton fair, senior centers, or music jam sessions, she was always happiest when surrounded by friends. She was especially active in the Irasburg United Church, and she liked to remember how she originated the idea for the Irasburg Church Fair (now in its sixth decade). For many years, Mrs. Young made flower arrangements for the church every Sunday. Following the death of her husband in May of 2009, Mrs. Young lived with her son Danny in Westfield where she continued to garden and make new friends. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Unwaveringly devoted to her family, she leaves fondest memories of her humor, generosity, wisdom, and work ethic. She is survived by her children: Danny Young, Wayne Young, and Priscilla Christopher; four grandsons: Matthew Christopher, Aaron Young, Adam Young, Will Young, and their spouses; and three great-grandchildren: Orion Bava Young, Dante Bava Young, Eliza Lily Knowlton-Young, and Bodhi Knowlton-Young. She was predeceased by her siblings Pearl Whalen Alexander, Gerald Keith, Thelma Keith Shepherd, and Marion Kennison. A memorial service will be held Saturday, December 8, at 11 a.m. at the Irasburg United Church. The family will receive friends at the church from 10 a.m. until the time of service. Spring interment will be at Westlook Cemetery in Glover. Contributions in her memory may be made to the Irasburg United Church, P.O. Box 177, Irasburg, Vermont 05845. Online condolences may be sent to the family through the funeral home website at www.curtis-britch.com.
