Barbara Katherine Young

September 7, 1934 — June 16, 2020

Barbara “Babs” Katherine Young (Brandner) was born in Ruthven, Ontario CANADA on September 7, 1934. She entered Heaven’s gates on June 16, 2020.

She was united in holy matrimony to Anton Young on November 7, 1953. The union was blessed with four children, A loving mother and homemaker, she treasured her family and embraced every moment with them. Barbara had a way of making everyone feel like they were a part of her family. Those who came to know her loved her. To anyone who needed her she was always there with love, acceptance, wisdom, and kindness. She was a remarkable cook who enjoyed preparing meals, baking, and always welcomed others to her table. When she wasn’t in the kitchen, she was a dedicated water aerobics participant who enjoyed socializing with ladies in her class. In her spare time she could be found reading a book or playing on her computer.

Barbara has always been a woman of faith. While living in Flint, Michigan she was actively involved in St. Paul Lutheran Church and when she settled in Florida, she became a very active member of Grace Lutheran in Port St. Lucie. It’s no surprise that she also donated a lot of her time at “Sarah’s Kitchen” helping feed the less fortunate.

The best wife and mother imaginable, nothing came before her family or her faith. Her beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children and grandchildren. Barbara will be remembered most for her kind loving nature and the way she lived her life to the fullest with simple pleasures.

Barbara was preceded in death by her son Ronald M. Young, by her brother William (Eva) and by two infant brothers-Fredrich and Jacob. She is survived by her husband Anton Young, her Son Richard (Theresa) Young, and her Daughters Linda (Jacques) Lamothe and Lori (Tim) McAlear and two grandchildren, Jordan Lamothe and Lauren Lamothe. She is also survived by her brother Walter (Ilene) Brandner and many cousins, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.
