Obituary of Cecilia Young

In Loving Memory of Cecilia Maria Young July 15, 1941 - June 28, 2021 It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear mother, Cecilia, on June 28th, 2021 at her home in St. Bride’s. We are devastated by our unexpected loss but grateful for our many wonderful memories of time spent with her. She was devoted to our Dad and cared for him for many years during his illness. She continued to care for him when we eventually had to place him in long term care. Her love for him was unwavering. She leaves to mourn her husband, William, and children Cynthia (Eugene), her favorite, Calvin (Maureen) and Michelle (Joe). Also left to mourn are her beloved grandchildren Ryan (Ashley), Samantha (Anthony), Brandon (April) and Lauren, and her darling great grandson, Owen. She will be sadly missed by her sisters and brothers and her many friends, especially her bingo buddies who she loved to see on Sunday nights. Of special mention is her best friend and confidant, Margie, who was always there for her day and night, whenever she needed her. Theirs was a special bond that only sisters can share. We are grateful for Mom’s many friends and neighbors who helped her out over the years, especially Mike, who was always there whenever she called. We truly appreciate it. Our lives will never be the same without her but a mom’s hug lasts long after she lets go (author unknown).
