Margory Young entered into eternal life peacefully on Feb. 10, 2013. Marge was born and raised in Los Banos, CA and grew up on a dairy farm, graduating from Los Banos High School. She met her husband Jim after moving to San Jose in 1946. They were married for 39 years until his death in 1986. Marge owned and operated a successful dressmaking business in the 60’s and went on to become a Real Estate agent in the 70’s.
In 1974 she and her husband started their own business, J&M Windows and Glass, which is still operating as a family business today. Marge was very involved with the Catholic Woman’s Organization, YLI since 1948, serving as the Grand President from 1996-97 in addition to other offices in her Institute. One of her favorite pastimes was working in her yard and nurturing her flowers.
