Grace Faith Young

Grace was born November 13, 1949 in Rosetown, Saskatchewan. She was raised on the family farm near Herschel, Saskatchewan. Upon graduation from high school, Grace worked in Saskatoon as a nanny until she met Alban Young. Grace married Alban on March 17th, 1973. Alban and Grace raised their six children in Midale before settling in Griffin. When the Grace’s children were younger, the family enjoyed many trips to Indiana to visit her parents. Grace always loved to knit, making everything from Afghans, clothes for her grandkids & friends to the wonderful stuffed animals she created later in her life.

Grace was predeceased by her parents, Bud & Alma MacTavish; sister, Lorette Wolfe and brother, Jim MacTavish.

Grace will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 47 years, Alban Young; children, Rebecca, Sarah, Rachel, Chenoa, John, and Kristen (Steven) Smiley; brother, Grant MacTavish; twelve grandchildren and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

Grace made the best of her circumstances when faced with adversity. She will be sorely missed by those who knew her. The family would like to thank the wonderful, caring staff of Tatagwa View House 12 for the kind and compassionate care she received while there.

A Private Graveside Service & Interment will take place at Griffin Cemetery at a later date.

For those wishing to make a charitable donation in memory may do so to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, Special Olympics or STARS Air Ambulance as Grace donated to these in the past.
