Judith Leitwein Young

Mrs. Young was born June 30, 1934 in Pea Ridge, WV to the late Lawrence and Hortense Leitwein.

Judy worked as the first instructional aide in Henrico County, VA in their newly formed learning disabilities program in 1971 and continued until 1988 when she and Chuck retired and sold their family business, Glenwood Nursery. They then moved to Lake Monticello, VA where they enjoyed following all of the UVA sports and sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. Shortly after Judy's diagnosis with Alzheimer's, they moved to Southport, NC to be closer to family. Judy was an only child and she loved her growing family. Judy will be cremated and upon her husband Chuck's passing, their remains will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

She leaves behind her husband of 64 years, Capt. Charles F. "Chuck" Young, USNR (retired); three children, Rick Young and wife Teresa of Southport, NC, Debbie Brown and husband Alan of Wilmington, NC, and Mike Young and wife Anita of Los Gatos, CA; nine grandchildren, Kari Brown Staples, Natalie Brown Strouhal, Alexandra Young Boyer, Holly Brown, Kennon Young, Dillon Brown, Carly Brown, Connor Young, and Ashley Young; eight great-grandchildren; and nephews Ed Young and Kenny Young.

A celebration of her life will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, April 9, 2021 at Oak Island Evangelical Presbyterian Church.
