Dorothy H Young

East Machias – Dorothy H. Young, 74, loving wife of Norman L. Young, passed away May 10, 2007 at her home with family by her side. She was born September 18, 1932 in Marion, the daughter of Clarence W. and Jeanette (Rice) Townsend. Dorothy was raised in Marion and Eastport, where she graduated from Shead Memorial High School. She married her childhood sweetheart in 1951 and together they embarked on an exciting life. They lived all over the United States as well as in the Philippines. Their greatest adventure, however, was raising their four children. She was devoted to her family and raised her family in a very loving home. Dorothy was a member of the Bridge Club for many years in Eastport and enjoyed the Gardening Club as well. She fully believed in and practiced her phrase “Go while you can”, having fun with her sisters. She had a “green thumb”, being able to grow anything and in the warmer months could be found outside in her flower and vegetable gardens. Along with her husband, she is survived by her sons, Michael N. Young and his wife Sally of Herman, and Larry L. Young and his wife Karen of East Machias; two daughters, Karen Ann Hallowell and her husband Keith of Edmunds, and Lois Jean Young of East Machias; as well as eleven grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren; three brothers, Wallace, Arthur and Joseph; and four sisters, Alice, Pansy, Connie and Patricia.
