Carol was a 1954 graduate of Bexley High School. She attended Oberlin College the first semester of college and returned to graduate from The Ohio State University, where she was a member and president of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. After graduation in 1958, she married Ivor Young. Carol's faith, family, and friends brought her joy. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Volunteer involvements included the Junior League, Pleasure Guild of Children's Hospital, TWIG 102, and she was a docent at Columbus Museum of Art, and she sang in the church choir. For 31 years she was in charge of the pressroom volunteers at the Memorial Tournament and was honored by being chosen Captain of Muirfield Village Golf Club in 2007. The family expresses its appreciation to the nurses and staff of First Community Village for the loving care given to Carol during the 11 years she lived in the memory care unit there. Her singing and spirit made her a favorite with the staff. We are also very appreciative of the care we received from Hospice, especially during Carols final days. The family hopes to schedule a Celebration of Life Service and reception sometime this summer. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Carol N. Young's memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Association (www.alz.org ) or National Church Residences Hospice Care. (nationalchurchresidences.org/services/hospice)
