February 9, 1947 - December 4, 2023
Nancy Young, 76, of Otego, New York, passed away peacefully at her home on December 4 with her loving family by her side. She courageously lived with Parkinson's disease since 2002 which progressively got worse. Nancy was the loving wife to Richard Young Sr. for more than 56 years. She was born in Oneonta, NY to the late LeRoy and Bettye Boynton.
Above all else, Nancy was a proud and loving mother and grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with her family, doting on, and cooking for them. She loved animals, nature and gardening. Nancy spent endless hours handfeeding chipmunks on their property and feeding & watching birds.
Nancy is survived by her son Richard Jr. of Otego, daughter Michelle (Young) Edelstein and son-in-law Adam of Worcester, MA, granddaughter Erica Young of Oneonta, sister Montie (Boynton) Sauveur of North Carolina, nephew Timothy Sauveur of Grand Gorge, NY, niece Tami Myers of NC and mother-in-law Gladys Young of Oneonta.
Nancy was a sensitive soul who never had a bad word to say about anyone. She formed immediate bonds with everybody she met, including the many health professionals and caregivers during her lengthy illness.
A celebration of Nancy's life will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to: It's All About The Animals, 103 Marion Road, Rochester, MA 02770.
